HYrdo Forming Services
Transforming the complex into the simple with our Hydroforming Services! Our method, established since the mid-1950s, employs sheet metal hydroforming by pressing material into a rubber bladder that forms the cavity section of the shape. This flexible rubber diaphragm allows us to create round, square, and irregular shapes, minimizing, and often eliminating, the draw marks usually caused by traditional die forming.
- Accommodates complex geometries and shapes
- Forms a wide range of metals, specializing in exotic alloys
- Reduces tooling and machining needs
- Compatible with exotic alloys
- Enhances mechanical properties
