Stretch Forming is a forming process that involves metal wherein a piece of metal is stretched and bent.

When first introduced,  Stretch Forming's  primary use had been for the forming of aircraft skins, cowls

and air frames. Later, as machines developed and became larger and more powerful, the technology

was extended to the forming of boat and ship hulls along with various other components.
 

Over the years, because of the quality of stretched components, the Stretch Forming  process adapted to

and is extensively used by the automotive, rail car, industrial and manufacturing industries.
 

Eventually, the process would break through to the architectural industry, when architects saw

Stretch Forming's possibilities for creating such things as curved facades, architectural details, roof lines,

and light installations. Large curved glass facades were now possible, as the process is a perfect match for

the curving of large curtain-wall systems.
 

Today, Stretch Forming is used by everything from architecture to aerospace--From signage to skylights

and from musical instruments to museum performance rooms. Its product can be seen everywhere.
