Hydroforming - Tolerances and Surface Finish

Tolerances and Surface Finish

Hydroforming is capable of producing parts within tight tolerances including aircraft tolerances where a common tolerance for sheet metal parts is within 0.76 mm (thirty thousandths of an inch). Then metal hydroforming also allows for a smoother finish as draw marks produced by the traditional method of pressing a male and female die together are eliminated.
