For more than a century we have shaped metal in Vansbro, Sweden, and since 2006 we have perfected high-pressure tube and sheet hydroforming. The same water-based technology that gives us ±0.05 mm dimensional accuracy in steel, aluminium and copper is equally suited to hydroforming titanium. On this page you will discover how our integrated process chain—pressing, 3-D laser cutting, laser welding, in-house tooling and CMM quality control—delivers reliable, lightweight components for demanding industries.

Our Hydroforming Titanium Process at a Glance

Tube Hydroforming

A pre-bent titanium tube blank is placed in the die, sealed and filled with pressurised water. Controlled axial and radial forces expand the tube against the tool cavity, creating complex cross-sections in a single step. This method eliminates multiple welds and secondary machining.

Sheet Hydroforming

For shallow or asymmetric geometries, we clamp a titanium sheet over a single-surface die, then apply fluid pressure to press the sheet into the cavity. The result is deep, wrinkle-free forms with minimal spring-back—ideal for housings, heat shields and enclosure components.

Accuracy & Repeatability

Closed-loop sensors inside our presses guarantee wall-thickness control and maintain ±0.05 mm tolerances when hydroforming titanium. Each batch is verified on our coordinate-measuring machine before release.

Material Expertise and Forming Accuracy

Titanium’s high strength-to-weight ratio can challenge traditional deep-drawing, yet the controlled hydraulic pressure of our process reduces strain, lowers forming forces and protects grain structure. Because we form parts close-to-net shape, scrap is reduced, and costly titanium stock is used efficiently.

Wall thinning typically < 10 %
Dimensional tolerance down to ±0.05 mm
Surface finish preserved—no need for post-polish before welding or coating

Integrated Laser Cutting, Welding & Tooling

3-D Laser Trimming

Immediately after hydroforming titanium we transfer the part to our five-axis fibre-laser stations (up to 30 kW). All piercings, contours and interface surfaces are trimmed in a single program, guaranteeing perfect fit in downstream assemblies.

Laser Welding

Where assemblies require joining, our laser cells deliver narrow heat-affected zones and pore-free seams ideal for titanium. Vision alignment safeguards accuracy for automotive, industrial and aerospace requirements.

Tool Manufacturing & Simulation

Because tooling is the heart of successful hydroforming titanium, we design, machine and prove every die in-house. Advanced CAD/CAM and FEM analyses predict thickness distribution, burst risk and spring-back long before the first blank is cut.
