159 students from 12 countries took part in the Olympiad this year.
In the Hot Forging section, the participants had to design a hot forged part and a stamping tool according to the drawing of the part, determine the manufacturing sequence and simulate the process.
In the Extrusion section, they had to design a die set and select the optimal extrusion parameters for a specified aluminum profile.
