The Institute of Metal Forming (IMF) at TU Bergakademie Freiberg cordially invites you to MEFORM 2026, which will take place in Freiberg from 19 to 20 March 2026. This annual conference offers an excellent opportunity to exchange information on the latest developments and research results in the field of materials and forming technology. Dr.-Ing. H.-W. Raedt, CEO of prosimalys GmbH will attend the event and give presentations on our CAD solutions: QKaliber for roll-pass design, QForm Direct for preforming dies design and QExDD for extrusion die design.

1,500 exhibitors from 60 countries present their innovations for a wide range of requirements from industry and trade at the No. 1 trade fair for the wire and cable industry. Meet global market leaders and trendsetters from the entire process chain - from raw materials to the latest machines for wire production and processing, fastening technology and spring production technology to finished end products and innovations from research. Meet at decision-maker level for new impulses, networking, professional small talk and big business. Dr.-Ing. H.-W. Raedt, CEO of prosimalys GmbH will be ready to talk about QForm solutions for wire and cable industry.

ESAFORM2026 will be jointly organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens, and will take place in the historic and vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece, from 27 to 29 April 2026.

Each year, the ESAFORM Conference gathers around 400 leading experts from academia and industry, offering a dynamic platform to present and discuss the latest advances in theory, experimentation, simulation, and application in the field of material forming.

Dr. Nikolay Biba, Director of Micas Simulations Limited, will attend this event. Details will be announced later.

Metal Forming 2026 is the 21st in a series of international Conferences organized since 1974 by AGH University of Krakow, Poland. From 1994 to 2010 the Conference was organized biannually, jointly with the University of Birmingham, UK. To provide a forum for academics and industrialists to discuss and disseminate recent developments, innovations, and advances in metal forming processes. The conference will be an opportunity for those working in physical and numerical modelling, as well as those involved in industrial applications of the results of theoretical research.
