This process involves the use of Peening Media, typically used to induce compressive stresses for favourable fatigue and surface finish characteristics.

In this process, those compressive stresses are induced in the surface of Sheet Metal, resulting in the shaping and deformation of the stock metal.

Shot Peen Forming can be used to form gentle 3 Dimensional Curvature, as required for aircraft or wing skins.
