When scientists and engineers fine-tuned a revolutionary process for crafting aluminum into complex shapes known as “superplastic forming” they immediately thought of the applications it could have for high tech industries such as aerospace, and automobile production. Companies like Boeing included it in their ultra fuel-efficient 787 “Dreamliner” aircraft, and Rolls Royce used it in their Phantom luxury car.

Alumadesign based in American Fork, Utah is one of the latest companies to implement superplastic.forming, but instead of creating multi-million dollar aircraft or pricey high performance automobile parts, Alumadesign uses the technology to create high quality posts for railing and fencing.

The process of superplastic forming takes a single tube of aluminum heated from 450 to 500 degrees centigrade, and forms it into complex three-dimensional shapes.

For Alumadesign the results are their new Craftsman and Modern shaped decorative posts that are created from a single durable piece of aluminum.

Alumadesign’s Craftsman and Modern posts shows what the company calls “the limitless design of possibilities”. The sturdy posts can be used in both residential and commercial applications, and have been praised for their beauty, function and ease of installation. The Craftsman and Modern posts are available in a variety of finishes and colors.
