6. Internal Search Punch forming Roll forming Dual wheel forming Explosion forming

7. Punch Forming Cuts and forms in one motion Few moving parts Simplistic design Timing and alignment issues Limited to cutting methods

8. Roll Forming Multiple methods of cutting Shape only as accurate as rollers Timing and alignment issues

9. Dual Wheel Forming High speed Accurate Few moving parts No complex PLC Difficult and costly to manufacture Separate wheels for lengths Alignment issues

10. Explosion Forming Any design, material, and thickness Fewer processes Low tooling cost Short prototyping time Dangerous Suited for small production

11. Conclusion Machine will have to be designed as a custom device using some type of forming and cutting mechanism. Final design to be determined after more analysis.
