About Us

  • FluidForming, an industry-changing reinvention of hydroforming, is the first major innovation in metal forming technology in more than 60 years. The FluidForming technology differs from traditional sheet metal stamping and bladder-based hydroforming in several profound ways. The FluidForming technology is a modern reinvention of hydroforming that uses water pressures of up to 60,000 psi to flawlessly form metal parts and components for a wide variety of industries including the aerospace, automotive, and consumer appliance sectors. The FluidForming technology and equipment offer unparalleled manufacturing flexibility. That same technology, infrastructure and capability can be utilized to offer Sheet, Tube, Bladder and Hydraulic forming all within the same machine. In many cases, legacy tooling can be utilized from Bladder Based machines. Since the forming fluid — pressurized recycled tap water — comes in direct contact with just one side of the sheet metal surface, there are no tooling marks. Therefore, FluidForming is perfect for use on alloys and pre-painted or pre-finished materials. Trademarks, brands, and logos can all be easily incorporated into the design of each part. Post-production finishing work is minimized with FluidForming technology. With a 99.996% first pass yield success rate, FluidForming offers quality, accuracy, and repeatability that was previously unheard of. Post-production costs are also minimized or eliminated altogether. T.O.C. (Total Cost of Ownership) is significantly reduced particularly when compared to four (4) separate machines. R.O.I. performance is seen in double digits when compared to other single use legacy technologies. Plant Footprints are reduced, Cost of Placement is less, Operating Costs are less and no special structural systems are required.
