THE "NET SHAPER" CONCEPT 「"Net Shaper" refers to the optimum cold forging process that we at Asahi Sunac are in the process of developing. We are making dramatic advances in cold forging technology, advances that are helping to more fully realize the potential of the cold forging machine and the tooling it uses. The Net Shaper concept isn't limited to the ability to cold form more complex workpieces to a higher degree of precision. It goes beyond to include other important factors such as reducing the cost of running the machine and making a more factory-friendly operating environment. The Net Shaper is the cold forging machine of the future that is being realized today.
