Environmental Benefits of FluidForming
Minimize your environmental impact.
Here at FluidForming Americas, we’re committed to preserving our environment while contributing to the American economy. We’re proud of our green manufacturing process and technology, and we’re honored to be a part of the growing sustainable manufacturing community.
Historically, metal forming — especially hot stamping, forging, and other hot forming processes — has a terrible environmental record. Even traditional hydroforming, which relies on petrochemicals and costly consumables, leaves a sizable carbon footprint.
FluidForming is different. Our FormBalancers use water as the forming force, nested tooling capabilities minimize material waste, and our 99.99% accuracy and repeatability rates virtually eliminate scrap from non-conforming parts.
Environmentally-friendly hydroforming innovation.
FluidForming’s cold forming metalworking technology is inherently green. Our precise and repeatable Six Sigma process (99.996% first-pass yield rate) minimizes waste while improving component integrity and stiffness.
In stark contrast to the conventional hydroforming process, which relies on costly and environmentally harmful hydraulic oil and bladders, FluidForming’s bladder-free technology relies on recycled tap water as the forming force.
FluidForming Americas is as committed to the environment as we are to innovation. Our fresh approach to sheet metal hydroforming forming marks the first significant development in manufacturing and sheet metal forming in more than 60 years. That’s innovation.
We work with our clients to create new and better products, in the shortest time possible. At the lowest price point possible. That’s innovation. The fluid that’s at the core of all FluidForming? Pure water. That’s environmental innovation.
