Aerospace Cutting Tool Limited have developed a new Superplastic Forming/Diffusion Bonding (SPF/DB) machine construction that offers a cost-effective, affordable solution with the added advantage of increased process flexibility within a single unit. The new concept utilises all-electric actuators, eliminating the risk and costs associated with conventional, servo-controlled hydraulic systems used on current equipment.This will make the process of SPF/DB more affordable for future manufacturers by reducing manufacturing costs of the equipment by up to 50%, whilst reducing hydraulic energy costs by up to 85%. This new concept provides new opportunities for manufacturers' within many sectors including aerospace, automotive, rail and medical through increased process availability leading to a supply chain expansion.

Aerospace Cutting Tool Limited开发了一种新的超塑成形/扩散粘合（SPF/DB）机器结构，提供了一种具有成本效益、经济实惠的解决方案，并具有在单个单元内提高工艺灵活性的额外优势。新概念采用全电动执行机构，消除了现有设备上使用的传统伺服控制液压系统的风险和成本，这将使SPF/DB工艺对未来的制造商来说更加经济实惠，设备制造成本降低高达50%，同时液压能源成本降低高达85%。这一新概念通过提高流程可用性，为包括航空航天、汽车、铁路和医疗在内的许多行业的制造商提供了新的机会，从而扩大了供应链。
