Flexforming is a new, emerging technique in the automotive industry for the forming and trimming of sheet metal parts for prototype and low-volume production. Forming of parts to final shape requires only one solid tool half. The other half is a 'flexible die' consisting of a rubber disphragm backed up by high-pressure fluid. When oil is pumped into the void behind the diaphragm and pressure is increased, the diaphragm expands over the press table and forces the blank to assume the shape of the solid tool half. After forming, pressure is released; and the diaphragm returns to its initial position.
