Employing the most advanced hydroforming techniques available, American Hydroformer's produces hydroformed parts as well as providing other metal fabricating solutions. Founded in 2003, American Hydroformer's specializes in the tube hydroforming manufacturing process. Our capabilities include numerous metal forming techniques such as hydroforming, hydraulic press work, metal stamping, and tube forming. Our in-house capabilities and the hydroforming process, allow us to make cost-effective parts that are lighter, stronger, and more rigid than traditionally made parts, while also increasing overall part quality and performance. In addition to hydroformed components, American Hydroformer's offers complete assembly level fabrication of automotive structures, robotic welding, and both industrial laser and plasma cutting. Hydroforming is a metal fabricating and forming process which allows the shaping of metals such as steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and brass. This process is a cost-effective and specialized type of die molding that utilizes highly pressurized fluid to form metal. Tube hydroforming is the expansion of metal tubes into a shape using two die halves, which contain the raw tube. Hydroforming is used to replace the older process of stamping two part halves and welding them together. It is also used to make parts both more efficiently by eliminating welding as well as creating complex shapes and contours.
