Scientists of the Steward Observatory and Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona created a highly energy efficient adaptable method of forming precision freeform metal panels utilizing the combined effects of induction heating, electromagnetic force, an adjustable mold assembly, and infrared and visible metrology. This transformative component-level manufacturing technology has a broad application in industries requiring custom shaped high accuracy metal sheets (radio communication, automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, architecture).
