The International Wrought Copper Council IWCC held their annual Technical Meeting in Milano on the 25-29 February. kme, an esteemed customers of prosimalys, invited Dr.-Ing. Hans-Willi Raedt to hold a presentation “Finite element simulation as a key enabler for the optimization of manufacturing processes in an industrial context”. The copper producing industry uses a wide spectrum of forming processes like extrusion, rolling, drawing, coining etc. All these processes benefit from the application of QForm UK for their development and optimization.

The 91th AIKW Conference took place in Rogaška Slatina, Slovenia on October 4-6, 2023. Numerous detailed technical presentations were dedicated to rolling and roll pass design technology. QForm UK was represented by the participation of Dr Hans-Willi Raedt from prosimalys GmbH and Dr Nikolay Biba from Micas Simulations Limited. They presented a newly developed program QKaliber for developing and enhancing rolling processes for long products and section profiles.

QForm UK was presented at the 14th International Conference on the Technology of Plasticity (ICTP) in France by the stand arranged by Micas Simulations Limited and by the presentation of the paper on automated die design done by Dr Nikolay Biba.

ICTP is also called the «Olympic games of metal forming» because ICTP is a conference where the latest scientific achievements are presented, and a bridge is built between fundamental science and industrial applications. Gathering scientists and engineers from across industry, academia, and government allows sharing of the latest results and thinking about future solutions. The ICTP community can provide to answer significant challenges related to industry, society and environmental issues.
