What production volume is needed to support a business case for hydroforming?
A- Vari-Form has produced volumes as low as 30,000 pcs per year and as high as 700,000 pcs per year. Building a successful business case for using a hydroform tube will depend on the cost of employing alternative technologies that could provide a similar part. Typical production programs fall into the 100,000 to 500,000 pcs per year range, but each potential product must be reviewed on its own merits.
