Cold forming is the use of mechanical presses to extrude a flat blank into the required shape. It provides the features traditionally provided by stamping yet with the following additional advantages:
- Improved dimensional capability
- Work hardening up to 3x base material properties
- The ability to use the part "as formed" and hence avoid unnecessary machining
