i'm curious if this inflation forming technique could make use of a mold to shape metal into more dynamic, detailed shapes. sortof a reverse vacuum forming.

Definitely, Hydroforming is an industrial process used for shaping car panels, bike frames and tubes

Can't believe how well that works! Very cool :) What sheet thickness is that? Also, did you see how much pressure was needed?
@ConnorHolland Жыл бұрын
Thank you, it is 0.9mm thick stainless steel which took around 30psi maximum to inflate
@DustinGould Жыл бұрын
It looks super cool and i appreciate the custom work out into it.... But if it expeanded that easy the first bump with a knee or sliding a chair into it would really dent it easy ... Id be afraid of how delicate this is..... Again its beautiful 😍 nive work
@ConnorHolland Жыл бұрын
No need to worry, inflated steel is very strong and I would need to hit it hard with a hammer to dent it

What's your polishing process? Would be interested in what disc you use and how many steps you do for getting a mirror finish on stainless steel, beautiful stuff
@ConnorHolland Жыл бұрын
I dislike sanding so I do it the fast way, that looks ok but its not a perfect mirror. I smooth the welds with a 40g flap disc on the angle grinder, 100g sandpaper, then the sisal wheel on the polishing machine and the cloth wheel to finish up. When I can I go straight to the polishing machine to avoid any sanding, its not really the 'correct way'.

So you have an air compressor to run the plasma but you use a bike pump to inflate the sheet metal ?

Yes, I like the simplicity and precision, as well as wanting to show you don't need much pressure

Nice. I just subed after watching a video you made love the idea of using air and a pressure washer to shape this. What welder are you using can you share a direct link to it if possible I'm looking to get a tig myself. Maybe if you haven't already you can make a video of all the shop tools you use to make these and what you like best to use and maybe add links to where to get them. I always wanted to get some of these tool myself to make some cool art pieces. Keep the videos coming.

Wow, that's an interesting KZfaq channel I just stumbled upon, very coll stuff! Is there specific software to predict the final hydroformed shape? Seems you could make good use of a metal laser cutter. I just completed my first metal-laser cutting project at my local makerspace and am amazed at how easy the machine and software was to use.
@ConnorHolland Жыл бұрын
Some CAD programs let you 'inflate' a model, I've used Blender to do this reasonably well. It's mostly physical experiments with different shapes that help me predict what will happen. I would definitely like a laser cutter, perhaps in the future

@@ConnorHolland Yes do that. I have used hollow steel balls in a few of my projects. They are somewhat coarse with a wide seam that is even more coarse. Its a slow labor process to get a decent reflective finish so I'm interested on how you solve the problem. Thanks.
