Bladder hydroforming requires the development of only one forming tool, using a flexible hydraulic bladder as the opposing tool. Compared to traditional metalforming operations that require the design and build of two tools, tooling costs using bladder hydroforming can be cut in half-maybe even reduced by more than half. For prototype development and for short-run production of sheet metal parts for limited-run aerospace parts or automotive specialties, the process can't be beat. That's where Ultimate Hydro-forming, Incl., Sterling Heights, MI, has hung its hat for the last 23 years.
