Illinois weather: 81°… then 42°… then back to 80° 😅

If your production looks anything like this forecast—up, down, unpredictable—it might be time to stabilize things.

Ditch the variability of weld nuts and inserts.

Formdrill delivers consistent threads, faster cycle times, and lower total cost—no matter what the forecast says.

🌪️ Less rework

⚡ Faster throughput

💰 Real savings

Weather may be unpredictable. Your process doesn’t have to be.

A Better Way to Add Threads to Tubes & Pipes in Fluid Systems

Tubes and pipes in fluid systems present a constant challenge:

How do you create strong, leak-free connections in thin material—without adding cost and complexity?

Traditional approach:

Weld on a coupling or fitting
→ Requires skilled labor
→ Introduces heat distortion
→ Creates potential leak paths
→ Adds time and cost

Smarter approach: Formdrill (friction drilling)

Formdrill uses heat and pressure to displace material and create a reinforced bushing—right in the tube or pipe wall.

🔧 What that means for fluid applications:

• Stronger threads (up to 3–4x material thickness)
• Leak-resistant connections for gauges, sensors & fittings
• No welding required → no HAZ, no distortion
• Chip-free process → critical for clean systems
• Faster production with fewer steps

From HVAC piping to hydraulic lines and manifolds, manufacturers are replacing weld nuts and couplings with a cleaner, more efficient solution.

If you’re still welding on fittings for thin-wall tubing… it may be time to rethink the process.

Trade challenges aren’t just a sourcing problem—they’re a design problem.

Tariffs, freight volatility, and long lead times are exposing something many manufacturers have lived with for years: dependency on added components like weld nuts, inserts, and rivet nuts.

What if you could remove that dependency altogether?

That’s where Formdrill comes in.

By forming threads directly into your existing material, Formdrill eliminates the need for secondary hardware—reducing:
• Supply chain risk
• Exposure to tariffs and price swings
• Vendor complexity
• Production steps and labor

In a time where reshoring and cost control are top priorities, the most resilient manufacturers aren’t just finding new suppliers—they’re re-engineering how parts are made.

Formdrill isn’t just a tooling change. It’s a shift toward:
✔ Simpler BOMs
✔ More predictable costs
✔ Greater control of your production

The companies that navigate today’s trade environment best will be the ones that design out the problem—not just manage it.

Friction Drilling: Increase Production and Lower Costs by Replacing Weld Nuts and Inserts

Are weld nuts and threaded inserts slowing down your production process?

Many manufacturers are discovering a smarter alternative: Friction Drilling with Formdrill.

Instead of adding hardware, friction drilling forms a strong bushing directly from the base material, creating a durable threaded connection in a single operation.

The result?

⚙️ Eliminate weld nuts and inserts
⏱ Reduce production steps and cycle time
💰 Lower material and labor costs
🔩 Create stronger threads in thin materials
🏭 Simplify your manufacturing process

Formdrill technology is already helping manufacturers in HVAC, automotive, metal fabrication, furniture, and electrical enclosures improve efficiency and reduce costs.

If you're currently using weld nuts, rivet nuts, or threaded inserts, it may be time to explore a better solution.
