American Hydroformers presses employ a specialized type of die based process forming known as hydroforming. High pressure fluid is injected into the part causing the metal to expand and take the shape of the die molding. This technique allows for complex shapes to be formed while also producing stronger and lighter components. With three in-house presses, American Hydroformers’ has significant production capabilities as well as redundancy protocols in the event of equipment malfunction. All three of our Hydroforming presses feature a large bed capacity and are perfect for both small and large run manufacturing. At American Hydroformers, we have the ability to hydroform most metal materials including; aluminum, brass, carbon steel, copper, precious metals and high strength alloys, as well as stainless steel. Our manufacturing capacity consists of 5000, 4000, and 1800 ton presses with a maximum die size of 120”x245”.
