Flexibility in High Mix Low Volume sheet metal forming
Flexform™ is a sheet metal hydroforming method for cost effective, low-volume production, ideal for:
✓ From large to small, from shallow to deep parts, in nearly all metal alloys and blank thicknesses
✓ Prototyping and low-volume production, where lead time, quality, part shape flexibility and cost is of essence
✓ Prototyping and low-volume production, where lead time, quality, part shape flexibility and cost is of essence
Quintus Technologies has supplied high-pressure hydroform presses to the world’s recognized manufacturers such as BMW, Daimler, Ford, Volvo, Mitsubishi, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and their supply networks.

Forming simulation correlation with the Flexform hydroform technology
Flexform is a high pressure hydroforming technique using a flexible rubber diaphragm between the pressure medium and the formed sheet. The technique allows sheet metal to be formed in different thicknesses in one and the same tool.
Shaping the low volume sheet metal forming industry
In Flexform, sheet metal is formed over one rigid, shape-defining tool half by a flexible rubber diaphragm supported by high hydraulic pressure. The use of a single rigid tool half results in short lead times, low tool costs, fast try-out and easy tool modification after component design changes.
