What is Tube Hydroforming?

Tube hydroforming is a forming process that uses hydraulic pressure to shape tubes into complex forms. By injecting high-pressure fluid into a metal tube positioned in a mold, tube hydroforming allows for intricate designs with fewer welds and joints. This method is perfect for applications that require high strength and lightweight components, which are particularly valuable in industries focused on improving performance and fuel efficiency.
