Welcome

ESAFORM is an association with the mission to stimulate applied and fundamental research in the field of material forming. Its annual conference, the International ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming, is used to achieve one of the main goals of ESAFORM: to spread scientific and technological information related to material forming within academia and industry. The 28th International ESAFORM Conference on Material Forming – ESAFORM 2025 – will be organized by the University of Salerno and the University of Calabria, on May 6 – 9, 2025, in Paestum, Italy.

The Wire Networking Organization “Netzwerk Draht” will organize their yearly meeting on May 15, 2025. Several speakers from the wire industry (all wire materials: copper, tin, steel, aluminium, etc.) and their suppliers will present new technological developments. prosimalys GmbH is invited to speak about new developments in the simulation of wire production processes. We will show an overview of the different wire production technologies, e.g. extrusion, rolling, drawing, as well as insights into the simulation of heat treatment processes. Here, the new development of using AI-based grain size prediction models will be shown.
