Hydroforming is a manufacturing process that uses high-pressure hydraulic fluid to shape metals to produce lightweight and strong components from malleable metals. The hydroforming process gives shape to metals in a highly repeatable process and allows for complex geometries with outstanding structural integrity. 

Key Features-:

• High Pressure Forming: Hydroforming uses controlled pressure by use of hydraulic fluid to maintain controlled pressure to form metals into dies producing complex shapes while welding or joints are avoided.
• Lightweight and Strong Components: Hydroforming produces components that are lightweight and structurally robust having structural performance to resist the loads and parameters for demanding performance applications. 
• Cost and Material Effectiveness: Hydroforming avoids many components in assemblies and utilizes less materials than traditional processes, reducing your cost and material wasting.

Hydroforming can be considered in various applications in different sectors of manufacturing like automotive, aerospace, and sports manufacturing, to name a few. For automotive applications, the absolute strength-to-weight ratio improvements using hydroformed chassis components like engine cradles and roof rails improves the fuel economy, crash performance, and manufacturability when designed efficiently. In aerospace applications, hydroforming is a great choice to keep the most strength in the highest load and weight savings in those applications important in flight dynamics.
