Abstract: Sheet hydroforming has drawn much attention in the world because of its many advantages such as high drawing ratio, good surface quality and high dimensional accuracy, less springback etc. Based on the practical needs and the development of the hydroformed production, this paper presents the recent development of the sheet hydroforming and some innovative methods for the equipment, the processes and the numerical analysis methods have been introduced shortly.

Abstract: As one of the oldest manufacturing methods, the plasticity processing still is the basic and important way to produce the components in this period of IT. In the recent years, the plasticity processing has gained more attentions and a further development. At the same time, for the purpose of the sustainable development and the big profit, the environmental friendly methods should be applied into the plasticity processing. Based on the introduction to the development of the precise forging and stamping, this paper described the development trends and the basic needs of the plasticity processing and indicated that it is demanded to speed up the change of plasticity processing from the experimental or trial-and-error types to the scientific analysis and to realize more of precision, more of economy and more of greening (3M strategy) for the processing.
