PVI Hydroforming supports manufacturers with tube bending, pipe bending and advanced tube hydroforming for demanding metal components. Based in Sweden, we work with automotive and industrial customers that require precision, repeatability and reliable production quality.
Our tube forming expertise can be combined with hydroforming, 3D laser cutting, laser welding, tooling, hydraulic pressing, CAD/CAM support and CMM measurement. This makes PVI a strong partner for tube-based components that need more than a standard bending process.
Tube bending is used to form metal tubes into controlled angles, curves and geometries. It is a common manufacturing process for components used in automotive systems, industrial machinery, heavy equipment, structural assemblies and fluid or exhaust applications.
At PVI Hydroforming, tube and pipe bending can be part of a wider tube forming solution. Depending on the component, the production process may also include tube hydroforming, 3D laser cutting, welding, hydraulic pressing, tool manufacturing and dimensional control.
This approach is especially valuable when a part requires precise geometry, reduced welding, high repeatability or a more advanced forming method than conventional tube bending alone.
PVI works with tube-based metal components where several manufacturing processes may need to work together. For many projects, bending is only one part of the full production route. Cutting, forming, welding, tooling and measurement can be just as important to achieve the required function and final component quality.
Tube bending and tube hydroforming are related processes, but they solve different manufacturing challenges.
Tube bending forms a tube by bending it to a required angle or radius. It is often used when the main requirement is a controlled curve or route.
Tube hydroforming uses internal fluid pressure to form a tube inside a tool. This process can create more advanced geometries and may reduce the need for multiple welded parts. It is especially useful when strength, weight, shape complexity and repeatability are important.
For some components, tube bending is the right solution. For others, tube hydroforming or a combined process may provide better performance, fewer production steps or a more efficient final design. PVI can help evaluate which method is most suitable for your component.
PVI works with metal tube components in materials such as steel, aluminium and copper. The best material depends on the component design, forming method, strength requirements, corrosion resistance, weight targets and end-use environment.
Material selection is an important part of every tube forming project. PVI can support technical discussions around manufacturability, forming behaviour and production quality based on your drawing or specification.
Automotive components often require low weight, high strength, repeatable geometry and controlled production quality. Tube bending and tube hydroforming are both relevant for automotive applications where metal tube components must perform reliably in demanding environments.
PVI supports automotive customers with tube-based components where forming, cutting, welding and quality control need to be integrated into one production process.
Industrial manufacturers often need robust tube components that can handle mechanical stress, repeated use and demanding operating conditions. PVI supports industrial projects where standard fabrication may not be enough and where advanced tube forming or hydroforming can improve the final part.
Our combination of pipe bending, tube hydroforming, 3D laser cutting, welding and measurement makes us suitable for components that require both technical precision and production reliability.
PVI Hydroforming is a specialised manufacturing partner for formed metal tube components. Our strength lies in combining tube forming expertise with supporting processes such as hydroforming, 3D laser cutting, welding, tooling and dimensional control.
Customers choose PVI when they need more than a simple bent tube. We support projects where geometry, strength, repeatability and production quality are critical.
PVI is based in Sweden and supports manufacturers that need a European production partner for tube bending, pipe bending and advanced tube forming projects.
For UK companies, PVI can be a suitable partner when the project requires technical support, automotive experience, certified production and complex formed metal components.
