SPF allows better tube shapes that cannot be produced using traditional
forming techniques. Whereas shape designs can be applied to
20% - 30% of the tube using hydroforming, SPF allows up to 90%.
In addition, complex shapes will not compromise the tube’s structural
strength unlike hydroforming. The result: more optimized shapes and
lesser weight. SPF tubes are 10% lighter than hydroformed tubes at
20% transformation. 25% lighter at 30% transformation.
