This is how Flowform® works

The Flowform® screw heats up and penetrates the sheet metal. With its polygonal
tip geometry it forms a extruding hole and taps a thread. This thread is able to
accept a metric screw if it ever needs repair. After it has been screwed in, the
formed extruding hole adjusts optimally to the contours of the screw.
