That's an impressive setup. When doing stretch forming, we always used multiple tie down straps and a whole lot more hammering. Dies were normally resin cast and only good for a couple of uses. We couldn't pull the metal to yield, it was more helping it stretch when hammering. I can't imagine anyone investing that much $$ in dies and equipment until they have a significant demand.
