Your Partner in Innovation
Macrodyne has a long and proud history of developing custom hydraulic presses and servo presses for important research and development uses. Our presses have been used to test, explore and refine a variety of advanced manufacturing processes, including:
- Hot gas forming – simulate real-world production conditions at lab scale
- Sheet & tube hydroforming – evaluate formability and optimize part design
- Metal formability testing – generate precise data for materials research
- Hot stamping & warm forming – study material behavior under heat and pressure
- Squeeze casting – develop lightweight, high-strength parts
- Burst testing – assess part strength and safety limits
