The Fraunhofer Omnishape Drilling System™ is a game changing approach to drilling, enabling almost any hole shape with zero torque in the process.

This innovation allows for new products and significant new after-market sales opportunities.

Inspired by Nature

Wood wasps use a special non-rotational drilling technique

Holes are rasped deeply into the wood by their Ovipositor in order to lay eggs into the tree

The process requires almost no axial force and torque

The wasp‘s Ovipositor consists of three parts that move cyclically in a pendulum stroke movement to rasp off wood

This complex process was abstracted and covered in detail in our patents.

Unique Features

Almost any shape of hole can be made in most materials

No roll up and pull out of fibrous materials

Holes are drilled faster than with rotational methods

Complex 3D hole geometry is possible

Enhanced ease of use and safety due to zero torque and reduced axial load requirement

Non-Round holes allow a single hole to do the work of two or more

This „Verdrehsicher“ (or anti-twisting, torsion-proof fastening) prevents part rotation with only a single hole
