Advanced Metal Forming
In-die splining. Laser welding. Flow forming processes. We produce highly complex custom components and assemblies for the future of powertrain architectures.
Expert Metal Forming Engineering and Design
Transform is uncompromising in the pursuit of optimal designs for our customers. As a full service metal forming supplier, we partner with our OEM customers to design future powertrain components and transmission architectures. Our trusted team of experts advises our customers on whether a product can or cannot be manufacturable, and helps determine the appropriate materials and most efficient processes.
These practices have led us to pioneer many advanced forming technologies used in fuel-efficient vehicles. For example, TransForm was the first company to bring In-Die Roller-Die technology to North America, and Aluminum Flowforming processes in a 10 speed automatic transmission. Today we continue to push boundaries with the new Aluminum Flowforming Technologies and industry-leading capabilities in Material Forming Simulation Software.
