Deep drawing is one of the most widely used processes for sheet metal forming. It is mainly used in the automotive industry, but the process has also proved its worth in other sectors for a wide range of components. In the deep-drawing process, the aim is always to work a flat blank of sheet metal into the desired shape – a hollow body that is open on one side. Particularly noteworthy are the high strength as well as high stability and flexibility achieved.

This process can be used to manufacture diverse products from small batches to large-scale HENN series productions. The main materials used are steel and aluminium (various alloys) – and the wall thickness of the material does not change during forming. Another attractive feature of deep drawing is that the process can be used multiple times, allowing even complex shapes to be produced.
