Pre-bending and flattening the blanks before the drop forging process saves an enormous amount of weight. In addition, the amount of bending flash is significantly reduced.  <\/li>\n<li> <strong> Safety<\/strong>: Components produced by bending \/ flattening always have a homogeneous grain flow. Due to this uninterrupted grain flow, components can be subjected to higher loads with the same amount of material, in contrast of parts produced by machining. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Conception<\/strong>: We are happy to use our know-how to help you create new production concepts based on GFU bending technology.
