Bulge Forming Press
When Lightweight Meets High Precision
DUNKES’ bulge forming presses are designed for one thing: shaping complex parts with minimal material and maximum accuracy. Whether you’re working with tubes or sheet metal, we deliver forming systems that meet the demands of aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing.
The process uses internal fluid pressure to push material outward into a defined shape. Our systems can be configured for low- or high-pressure forming, with the flexibility to match your part geometry and production needs.
We don’t do off-the-shelf. Every bulge forming press is engineered to fit your exact application.

Stronger Parts. Simpler Assemblies.
DUNKES bulge forming presses make it possible to manufacture hollow or sheet-based parts with complex geometries—without sacrificing strength or accuracy. In many cases, multiple welded components can be consolidated into a single formed part, reducing secondary operations and potential failure points.
The result? Lightweight, high-strength parts with superior torsional rigidity and precise dimensional control. Whether you’re optimizing for weight, performance, or process efficiency, bulge forming delivers the flexibility you need.
More Output. Less Handling. Smarter Workflow.
Want faster cycle times and fewer bottlenecks? DUNKES’ bulge forming systems can be fully automated with process-driven equipment that keeps production moving and labor demands low. We tailor automation around your layout, volume, and part complexity.
