Basic course on aluminium extrusion and WPC25 Vitrintec Conference, Poland

DATE: 25-26 September
VENUE: Nosalowy Dwór Resort and Spa Hotel Conference Centre, Zakopane, Poland

The WPC25 Vitrintec Scientific Conference under the honorary patronage of the Governor of Małopolska and the Dean of the Faculty of Non-Ferrous Metals at AGH will be held on September 25-26, 2025 at Zakopane, Poland. QForm Group will be one of the sponsors of the event. The program includes interesting presentations on die cooling systems with liquid nitrogen, new digital solutions for controlling aluminum alloy extrusion dies, AM technology using dies to improve production efficiency and other.

Registration for the WPC25 Vitrintec Conference is required on the conference website.

QForm Group together with Dr inż. Jacek Madura will organize the special Basic course on aluminium extrusion 25 September starting at 8.00, and also give a presentation “QForm UK Extrusion – the simulation-driven process design and optimisation software to boost productivity and economic efficiency of aluminium profile manufacturing”
