Because the water gently and evenly presses the material against the tool contour, extremely high-quality surfaces are created. The components require virtually no post-processing and are ideally suited for visible components or applications with high aesthetic requirements.
Hydroforming allows the production of very complex geometries in just a few process steps. The water perfectly adapts to the component shape and enables a process sequence that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional methods. This significantly shortens the entire process chain.
A significant advantage of hydroforming is the comparatively low tooling costs. Since the water takes over a large part of the forming work, the tools can be designed more simply – ideal for small and medium series and projects with a high variety of components.
We manufacture hydroformed components in series of approximately 150 to 1,000 pieces per lot. This range allows for economical production for both flexible series and recurring needs. Typical component geometries are around x*y mm and a component depth of up to z mm.
Colsman Forming already supports you in early component development, allowing you to optimally utilize the potential of hydroforming from the outset. With our experience in designing complex contours and assessing formability, we help to constructively design components so that they can be manufactured efficiently, safely, and economically. Additionally, we provide a reliable process validation using FEM simulation to precisely ensure material behavior, process stability, and component quality even before production begins.
