_Form your own inserts.
A common problem facing manufacturing is how to get threads in thin walled materials. Not anymore with Formdrill!
Historical answers have been weld nuts or threaded inserts, but these techniques have many drawbacks such as costs in time and expense, more production steps, adding external elements, and overall quality.
The Formdrill solution is an easy process which uses proven technology:
First a bushing is created out of the parent material with a Formdrill tool.
This bushing increases the area available for tapping.
Secondly a Formtap forms strong threads in this bushing without any cutting.
Now you are ready for assembly.
