Thread forming screws differ from thread cutting screws in that they do not remove material while creating threads. Instead, they displace the material within the hole by forming threads as they are driven in, which can result in higher insertion torque and stress during installation. These screws typically feature a trilobular tip design, which aids in efficient thread formation and enhances grip.
