The Forum is an event aimed at bringing together representatives of the global professional community — researchers, users, manufacturers, industry professionals, and early-career students — everyone interested in the development of metal forming technologies.

The Forum was attended by more than 70 participants from 50 companies. Attendance figures, a rich program of presentations and the overall atmosphere of the event give every reason to conclude that QForm Forum China was a highly successful event!

Our distributor, CAE Technology Inc., attended the annual fall conference 2025 KSTP (The Korean Society for Technology of Plasticity and Materials Processing).

At the conference, they presented a presentation titled “Optimal design of preforming and process analysis techniques for multi-material (AL–STEEL) in composite forging processes”, demonstrating the use of QForm UK Direct for preform forging.

At Korea Metal Week 2025,which took place on October 29-31, CAE Technology Co., Ltd. turned its booth into a hub for engineers, researchers, and experts from around the world. The discussions went beyond technology, focusing on real solutions for optimizing forging, rolling, extrusion and forming processes with QForm. A highlight of the exhibition was the opportunity to receive live, in-person consultations with engineers right at the booth.

Many thanks to our partners for an excellently organized event!

Another important event took place in Korea, organized by our distributor CAE Technology Inc. — the CAETECH 2025 User Conference.

User conferences are among the most significant events in the professional community, where we share not only the latest developments that streamline production processes but also successful examples of QForm implementation and use.

Nikolay Biba participated in the CBM Mini Fastener Manufacturing Expo 2025, which took place on October 15 in West Bromwich, UK.

Organised by the Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM), this specialist event is dedicated to the fastener industry and brings together manufacturers, suppliers, and industry leaders for a focused day of networking, knowledge sharing, and innovation.

Every year, QForm Group organizes an the International Student Olympiad on Metal Forming Processes, which takes place in April/May. We contacted the winners and asked them to tell us about their impressions of the competition, share secrets of preparation process, and give advise to future participants.

Aleksandar Lazić, a student at the University of Belgrade in Serbia, took third place in the Hot Bulk Forging section and invested his prize money in purchasing a 3D printer! Alexander shared his thoughts about the Olympiad and gave some useful advice for future participants...

At the end of September, the 93rd AIKW Conference took place in Siegen, Germany. QForm UK presented a range of solutions and products designed not only for rolling process simulation, but also for roll pass design.

During the conference, Vitaliy Belugin, Head of the Longitudinal Rolling Bureau, QForm Group, gave a detailed presentation on the full range of QForm UK’s capabilities for rolling simulation.

In September, the QForm team and our Turkish distributor InSource Yazilim successfully held two major events: participation in ALUEXPO 2025 and the QForm User Seminar — highlighting innovative solutions for metal forming and aluminum extrusion industries.

Before we announce the launch of the new season of the International Student Olympiad, we’d like to share some photos from the awards ceremony.
