Hydroforming is a manufacturing process that utilizes high-pressure hydraulic fluid to shape metal into desired forms. This technique is especially effective for creating complex, lightweight structures with high strength, commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer products.
How we can Support your Manufacturing needs
We offer tailored hydroforming services to meet your specific design requirements, ensuring precision and optimal material utilization.
Our team leverages 3D printing for quick prototyping, allowing us to test and refine educational tools and technologies before full-scale production, ensuring optimal functionality.
We provide flexible manufacturing options, allowing for efficient production from small batches to high-volume runs without compromising quality.
Material Preparation: Select and prepare the metal sheet or tube, which is often aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, to ensure it meets quality standards.
Setup: The prepared material is placed into a mold, and the hydraulic press is set up to apply high pressure.
Hydraulic Forming: High-pressure fluid is introduced, which expands the metal into the shape of the mold. This process creates a strong, seamless part.
Finishing: After forming, the part may undergo trimming, machining, or surface finishing to meet final specifications.
Sheet Hydroforming: Involves forming flat sheets into complex shapes, often used in automotive body panels.
Tube Hydroforming: Used for shaping tubular components, commonly found in structural applications and automotive frame
Complex Shapes: Capable of producing intricate designs that are difficult to achieve with traditional forming methods.
Material Efficiency: Reduces material waste, as it requires less machining and allows for thinner materials without compromising strength.
Enhanced Strength: The process aligns the grain structure of the metal, resulting in parts with superior strength and durability.
Automotive Industry: Used for body panels, chassis components, and structural elements.
Aerospace: Ideal for creating lightweight, high-strength components like brackets and fittings.
Consumer Products: Employed in manufacturing items such as furniture, appliances, and sports equipment.
