Macrodyne Technologies’ President Kevin Fernandes will discuss the company’s innovative Gas-Oscillation Enhanced Superplastic Forming (GO-SPF) technology at the upcoming Center for Industrial Metal Forming (CIMF) IAB Meeting on March 11-12, 2025.
His presentation will explore how this patented breakthrough is pushing the limits of superplastic forming, enabling the production of more complex, high-quality parts at reduced costs.
“This is a game-changer for manufacturers working with complex alloy geometries,” says Fernandes. “GO-SPF dramatically enhances formability, improves part quality, and slashes production time and costs.”
Breaking Barriers in Superplastic Forming
Macrodyne’s patented Gas Oscillation Forming System is integrated directly into its SPF presses, with software and mechanisms tailored to each application. The system introduces precise gas oscillations of varying amplitudes and frequencies inside the forming tool, dynamically deforming material while simultaneously reducing stress. The result? A significantly improved grain boundary sliding mechanism, leading to:
- Up to 20x faster production speeds
- Greater elongation and uniform thickness for more complex parts
- Lower production costs, making SPF more accessible across industries
- Higher part quality with reduced residual stresses
- The ability to form thinner and previously unmanufacturable parts
- Enhanced opportunities for lightweighting
- Extended durability of forming dies and presses
- Use of lower-cost standard-grade materials
With GO-SPF, Macrodyne is pushing superplastic forming beyond its conventional limits, opening the door for aerospace, automotive, and defense manufacturers to achieve unprecedented efficiency and design flexibilit
