Innovative
Hydroforming with
FF Fluid Forming
FF Fluid Forming GmbH is a company dedicated to hydroforming. This is a high-pressure forming process similar to the deep-drawing technique. But instead of using a punching tool (punch and die), this process uses a fluid to shape the component towards its final shape.

ADVANTAGES
Advantages of Hydroforming with
FF Fluid Forming
Savings of up to 80 %
- Only one tool (matrix) is required
- No hold-down device and punch required
- Flexible tool insertion system reducing the amount of waste and the manufacturing times
- Long tool life by gentle deformation
High surface quality
- Practically no traces of deep drawing because water is used as a medium in the deformation process
- Brushed and coated materials can be used without problem
- Very homogeneous thickness distribution of the metal sheets because a uniform pressure is exerted on the surface of the product
Short development time of the tool and prototypes
- Delivery times of final prototypes usually vary from 6 to 8 weeks
- Quickly create a final 3D model in cooperation with our experts
- Our own capacities in the fields of 3D laser processing and 3D measurement speed up the prototype manufacturing process
Complex shapes and
modern design
- Very small components down to 35 mm and large components up to 1800 mm in length can be processed
- All materials that are both ductile and malleable are hydroformable materials (sheet metal thicknesses ranging from 0.05 mm to 8 mm)
- Mating geometries, back-cuts, free-form surfaces, etc. are possible
- Fully digital process simulation yields insight into feasibility and results to be expected
