Hydroforming

Precise part geometries through hydroforming

Hydroforming for producing sheet-, tube- and profile-based components with complex geometries from metal and plastic – from prototype to pre-series. Our systems enable reproducible forming processes with the highest dimensional accuracy and material efficiency. Together with industry partners we realize innovative lightweight and structural concepts under real production conditions. Our competencies also include process combinations, e.g. with injection molding or press hardening, as well as temperature-controlled forming with a gaseous working medium.

Hydroforming
Development of hydroforming at Fraunhofer IWU — from room-temperature forming through temperature-controlled processes and process combinations to in-situ processes for hybrid components.
