The Hydroforming Innovators
We were the first company to introduce tubular hydroforming to the appliance industry and are globally recognized for converting multi-part assemblies into lighter, stronger hydroformed parts.
Our specialization in thin wall tubular hydroforming allows us to produce lightweight, complex parts with seamless aesthetics that would be impossible to cost-effectively reproduce using traditional forming methods.
Hydroforming Benefits
- Weight and part reduction opportunities
- Excellent bending strength and torsional stiffness
- Flexible design and engineering options
- High stiffness to weight ratio at low per unit costs
- Thin wall tubing capabilities
- Class A finishes
Hydroforming's high strength-to-weight ratio produces high dimensional stability in fewer operations than traditional stamping or welding. Even better, we can introduce flexible design options such as large radius sweeps, cross-sectional shape transitions from round to elliptical, multi-sided cross sections and variable expansions of diameters of up to 35%.
Common Hydroforming Applications
- Appliance handles
- Automotive exhaust components
- Bicycle frame components
- Automotive engine cradles
- Sink faucets
- Hand rails
- Chair or table legs
- Medical instruments
- Rifle scopes
- Sporting goods
