Hydroforming

 

an innovative technology we very much believe in. It is a technology for forming metal (sheet and tubes) that channels fluid under high pressure (generally emulsified water) at ambient temperature onto the metal to be shaped. There are a number of hydroforming technologies. In the case of sheet metal, Inoxveneta uses a particularly effective technique known as “fluid punch” where the final shape of the piece is determined by the die.
Tubes are fitted into a specially shaped die and the high pressure fluid models the surface of the metal against the internal sides of the die to achieve the required shape.
Hydroforming has various advantages over conventional technologies, also for making products with particularly innovative shapes, the manufacture of which would be extremely difficult or also too costly to produce with traditional technologies.
