Guerin process

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Guerin process is at the forming of metal sheets by pressing used. In contrast to other pressing processes, only a half tool ( male mold ) is used. The task of the second half-tool is performed by an elastic active medium, such as a fluid cell or a rubber cushion , which presses the workpiece around or into the half-tool under great pressure and thereby takes on the shape of the half-tool. Since the half-tool can in many cases be produced inexpensively from pressed wood, this process is particularly suitable for small series and prototype production .

The process is said to be named after the French engraver Christophe Guérin (1758–1831), who is said to have used and refined it.
