Expanding
Experienced Expanding Knowledge Base
Expand forming offers our customers tight tolerances in profiles with consistent concentricity, diameters and roundness from part to part. This method minimizes input materials that other forming techniques can produce. We use expanding to deliver near-net-shaped parts for the Space, Aviation, Defense and Energy markets.
Spincraft has expanders at our MA and WI facilities. Our sites include custom-built and fully CNC-controlled equipment for specialized applications. With proprietary coatings and interlocking designed expanders, we can minimize visual expansion impressions. We can also create even pressurization of segments.
