Rivet Nut
A rivet nut is inserted into a pre-drilled hole using an installation tool, which pulls the nut until it collapses and forms a bulge on the blind side of the material. Once set, it provides a threaded anchor ready to accept a bolt or screw for fastening components. The process adds assembly complexity.
Inferior Result
May Loosen Under Vibration & Weak Thread
Formdrill
Fomdrill creates holes by using friction heat to soften the metal, allowing it to be shaped instead of cut. The material forms a built-in collar that supports threading, which simplifies the assembly process.

Secure & Long Lasting
