Engineer in us ford is developing a highly flexible and new manufacturing technology, the technology could reduce the small batch production of sheet metal parts manufacturing costs and reduce the delivery time.
Traditionally, custom parts need six to eight weeks to production mold, but ford company has developed a unique, the manufacturing process of patents, in just a few hours to 3 d forming metal parts.Adopt the called "ford free forming manufacturing technology" (F3T) manufacturing process, a piece of metal plate can be fixed around its edges, work in coordination with the sheet metal blank on the side of the two type handwritten pen tool to form a 3 d shape.The new molding machine function is similar to digital printer, after a certain parts of the CAD data is received, controlled by the computer generation tool route F3T machine, forming sheet metal parts, eventually forming the required dimensional tolerance and surface finish of the metal parts.

F3T has the potential to achieve more personalized Settings.The technology is still in its early stages, the use of the technology of equipment cannot achieve batch production quickly, is more small batch applications.Expect F3T technology in addition to the application in the automobile industry, in the aerospace, defense, transportation, and home appliance industry also has a wide application prospect.
Above is the introduction to this new manufacturing technology, hope to be able to help you.
