Hydroforming is one of the fastest growing metalforming technologies in the world and has been used for decades but never at this cost level!
Hydroforming Design Light AB
* Hydroforming can be used on most Low weight on deformation hardened detail
- This technique streches the material much more evenly the conventional forming like stamping, deep drawing etc
- This results in a more effective construction resulting in lower weight. Sometimes up to 50% !
* Possible to draw deeper sections than with conventional methods due to less stress in the part
* Tooling is less than half the cost of most conventional methods due to the reduction of the male tool and due to the reduced stress on the tool surface
* Less springback than with conventional methods and much easier to use on high strength metals
* Reduction in number of parts when a more complex part is created in one cycle
* High precision on detail
* Better surface quality due to less mecanical stress on the surface since water is ”the forming tool”
