Bulge Forming Press
Unique solution for lightweight and complex applications
Macrodyne bulge forming presses are designed for both high- and low-pressure complex applications involving sheet and tube-based parts that demands accurate and lightweight solutions. Our bulge forming presses are used to produce aerospace, automotive and a wide variety of industrial product manufacturing applications.
On the bulge forming process, internal water pressure is used to “bulge” the material into a specific shape defined by the tool. This pressure is created by low-pressure pumps, high-pressure intensifiers, or by compressing the part to reduce the internal dimension of the material.
Macrodyne can develop a unique bulge-forming press specifically designed to your production requirements.

Achieve superior torsional rigidity and dimensional accuracy with bulge forming parts
Macrodyne bulge forming presses are designed for the manufacture of both sheet and hollow components with complex geometries. In many cases, multiple components can be redesigned as a single piece, reducing or eliminating the requirement for secondary welding operations.
Bulge-formed parts feature a high level of torsional rigidity in addition to precise dimensional and contour accuracy. As wall thicknesses are typically thinner than in cast parts, hydroformed parts can be lighter and/or stronger depending on the application requirements.
Enhance bulge forming press productivity with ancillary process automation
Macrodyne’s bulge forming presses can be supplied complete with a wide variety of ancillary equipment including:
- Robots
- In-press transfer systems
- Exit conveyors
- Shuttle tables
- Automated die storage & retrieval systems
- Hydroforming systems
