Abstract

One of the aims of the sheet-metal processing industry is the minimization of costs and the optimization of its products concerning weight, strength characteristics and rigidity. In search for alternative production processes, hydroforming — the manufacture of hollow bodies with complex geometries by means of fluid pressure — has been shown to offer an interesting technical and economic potential to sheet metal manufacturers. The achievement of beneficial component characteristics using this process is only possible where component and process configuration are selected by considering the overall system design.
