Elastoforming - Process

Approach: The very rigid elastomer pad firmly tightens the blank on the tool
   

Half Penatration: The peressure concentrates at the die periphery and at shape features (Jogglings, corners, etc...).
   

Full Penatration: The volume is closed and filled with the pad, the pressure uniforms over the die uniforms.
   

Pressure Raise: The pressure raises uniformly all over the surface inducing conformation to the tool.
