Short answer: Hydroforming shapes tube or sheet by pushing fluid pressure into a sealed blank so the metal expands against a die, producing complex, lightweight, high-strength hollow sections and domed panels in a single operation without welds or seams. Tube hydroforming makes exhaust manifolds, chassis rails and structural nodes; sheet hydroforming makes aerospace panels and pressure vessels — both cut part count and weight versus welding multiple stamped pieces.
