The webinar will demonstrate how key process parameters, including pass schedule, reduction strategy, roll geometry, rolling speed, and thermal regimes, influence product quality, process stability, and mill productivity. Practical case studies will illustrate how finite element simulation supports roll pass optimization, reduces the need for trial rolling, minimizes material waste, and improves overall production efficiency. The session is intended for rolling mill engineers, process technologists, R&D specialists, and simulation analysts working in long and flat product manufacturing who seek deeper insight into rolling process optimization and digital process control using QForm.

This webinar presents the advanced simulation capabilities of QForm for metal forming processes of copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) alloys, with a focus on drawing, rolling, direct extrusion, and Conform extrusion. Particular attention is given to key technological parameters and the specific deformation behavior of Cu and Al alloys under various processing conditions.

QForm Group will participate in the International Forging Seminar, which will take place in Złobnica on March 26–27, 2026. The seminar program includes presentations on innovative solutions in the forging industry. The seminar is organized by the Polish Forging Association (ZKP).

Paul Mordvintsev, Business Development Director, Formatech Systems SL, QForm Group, will present the report "Efficient forging system for die design and simulation. Preventing forging defects through automated preform design in QForm Direct" and discuss CAD QForm Direct.

Join our training course to learn about sheet bulk metal forming simulation in QForm UK.

The online training also includes 7 days of QForm UK Cloud trial and training materials.

This webinar introduces an innovative approach to automated preforming die design for forging processes.

Join us for a session dedicated to the first software solution on the market that enables automated, high-quality design of preforming dies. We will demonstrate how QForm Direct sets new standards in speed, accuracy, and automation for forging die development.

Particular attention will be given to iterative automated preform design, allowing engineers to systematically eliminate typical forging defects such as underfilling, laps, excessive flash formation, and improper material distribution. Participants will learn how simulation-driven optimization ensures proper metal flow, balanced load distribution, and improved die filling at early design stages.

Forum dedicated to ring rolling and forging will be held in Aachen, Germany.

Dr.-Ing. H.-W. Raedt, CEO of prosimalys GmbH will present reports on new rolling and free forging capabilities in the new version QForm 12.

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.
