A programmable body molding machine?

Question

linux

Suppose there is such a detail. using a 3D scanner, we drive it into a figure. Are there any programmable machines that can make a similar part from a sheet of steel (press???)? and in what direction to dig?

Answer 1

When I studied at the university, we had a lab for stamping, it took 600 kgf to stamp a part from a sheet of 1.5 mm, a cylindrical recess 1.5 cm in diameter to a depth of 1.5 cm. I’m even afraid to imagine how many tons it will take to stamp THIS.
IMHO, in conditions close to home, it will be easier and cheaper to remove the mold with plastic / silicone casting, then make fiberglass or carbon parts on its basis.
If you want metal without stamping, you can deposit metal on a plastic part.
By the way, there are "programmable" stamping machines, but they have no accuracy, they mainly stamp ship hulls

Answer 2

I am not very well oriented in the topic, but I already see the difficulties. Here or casting or a special press. I don't think there is a universal press. Even if we assume that it exists (and this technology should not be very simple), then it can only be used for strictly vertical molding. But if there are recesses at an angle, then it is very difficult to talk about universality from a technical point of view. Judging by the various reports on automotive production, even there there is no such thing. Just press. Just thinking out loud...
