Because the water gently presses the material evenly against the mold contour, the resulting surfaces are of extremely high quality. The parts require virtually no rework and are ideal for visible components or applications with high aesthetic requirements.
Hydroforming allows for the production of highly complex geometries in just a few process steps. The water conforms perfectly to the shape of the component, enabling a sequence of processes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using conventional methods. This significantly shortens the entire process chain.
A major advantage of hydroforming is the relatively low tooling costs. Since water does most of the forming work, the tools can be designed more simply—making this process ideal for small- and medium-volume production runs and projects involving a wide variety of components.
We manufacture hydroformed components in batches ranging from approximately 150 to 1,000 pieces per lot. This range allows for cost-effective production for both flexible production runs and recurring orders. Typical component geometries range from approximately x*y mm with a component depth of up to z mm.
Colsman Forming supports you right from the early stages of component development so that you can make the most of hydroforming’s potential from the very beginning. Drawing on our experience in designing complex contours and assessing forming feasibility, we help you design components so that they can be manufactured efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively. In addition, we provide robust process validation using FEM simulation to precisely verify material behavior, process stability, and component quality even before production begins.
