Shaping / Drawing

Shaping
Shaping is a machining production process with geometrically determined cutting edge for production of level surfaces, grooves and profiles which are not penetrable/broachable. In shaping the tool carries out the cutting movement and the back movement (prestroke and back stroke), the work piece is firmly clamped. Advantages of shaping compared with other processes are the lower costs for setting up and tools as well as lower warming of the work piece.
