Adding value by hydroforming
Complex shapes are possible through hydroforming, which allows precise tailoring of the cross section and three-dimensional bending of profiles. Closed section extrusions are formed with dies and internal water pressure. The method has great potential for structural members and pipe components with varying cross sections.
Hydroforming features
To avoid expensive tooling experiments, sophisticated simulation programmes are utilised. Sapa Automotive uses an extensive range of engineering IT tools suchs as Catia, Pro Engineer and Solid Design. |
