Macrodyne Signs a License Agreement with AEM to commercialize Gas Oscillation Forming Technology for Superplastic Blow Forming of Aerospace components

The agreement allows for the use and sale of AEM’s patented gas oscillation forming technology within the Aerospace sector worldwide. This groundbreaking and disruptive technology is the first real advancement being introduced to the Superplastic blow forming process in decades. The development of the gas oscillation forming process will allow manufacturers to Superplastic form metallic sheets (Aluminum, Titanium, and other aerospace alloys) into more geometrically complex shapes, with higher quality and at speeds, that were unachievable in the past. 

“AEM is an industry leader in SPF process just as Macrodyne is in SPF presses”, said Kevin Fernandes, president of Macrodyne Technologies, “This partnership shows our commitment to advancing our press technology by bringing innovative manufacturing solutions to the industry.”

"We are delighted to enter into this strategic alliance to commercialize our technology and offer Aerospace product development engineers the opportunity to significantly expand their product design envelopes and provide manufacturers with an ability to produce high-quality parts that are geometrically more complex, with greater elongation, improved wall thickness distribution, and reduced forming speed during the superplastic blow forming process," said Eugene Ryzer, president for AEM.

Jeff Walsh, the Director of Business Development at Macrodyne, stated “The supersonic oscillation of the gas pressure during the forming process is the key to the process, this technological step-change has the potential to become the new standard for Superplastic forming, making conventional SPF obsolete.”
