Software for simulation and optimization
of metal forming processes and
metal profile extrusion
QForm UK metal forming simulation software is implemented at commercial plants for economic benefit as well as at universities for academic and research purposes.
QForm UK Extrusion is designed for aluminum and magnesium profile extrusion simulation.
- Fully coupled task
- Analysis of tools
- Temperature taper for billet
- Force and temperature distribution during full process time
QForm UK Ring Rolling is specially designed software for ring and wheel rolling simulation and analysis.
- The program has a direct data preparation interface with the most popular ring rolling machines.
- Dual mesh method provides fast and accurate simulation.
QForm UK Extrusion Die Designer (QExDD)
is a system for creating parametric 3D design of tooling sets for solid and hollow profiles extrusion from 2D drawings.
- Die development automation;
- Bearing editor;
- QForm Extrusion integration;
On Thursday, 3 April 2025 from 12.00 to 18.30, the QForm UK Extrusion User Meeting will take place in Munich, Germany and will end with a joint dinner.
The QForm UK Extrusion User Meeting will take place just after the DGM extrusion committee / working group ‘Light Metal’ (in German language) from 8.30 to 12.00 on the same day and location.
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.
Dr Nikolay Biba, Director of Micas Simulations Limited, and Tom Ellinghausen, Forge Technology, Inc., invite everyone to visit our booth. In addition to QFORM UK's work at the booth, where you can get consultations and answers to your questions, we will prepare a report "Optimize preform design and find and fix defects quickly with QForm UK's new forging simulation tools".
The NUMISHEET 2025 Conference promises to be an intellectually stimulating and lively event with world-renowned scientists presenting the latest advances in numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes. It will once again be an international platform to discuss new ideas, strengthen existing relationships and establish new collaborations with leading researchers and industrial companies.
In November, our team visited China to participate in key industry events — the ALPTC 2024 exhibition, the 8th Asiaforge meeting, and to conduct a QForm UK Training session.
And also awarding the winners of the Olympiad-2024.
From October 8-10, 2024, our team attended The Aluminium 2024 Exhibition in Düsseldorf - the largest international event dedicated to aluminium extrusion and processing technologies. At the exhibition, we showcased QForm UK Extrusion and the QExDD tool for die design in extrusion processes.
We were pleased to observe that our extrusion simulation products continue to lead the market, with many users, manufacturers, and businesses already utilizing QForm UK for development and design. This was reaffirmed multiple times throughout the event.
In September, the International Student Olympiad on Metal Forming Processes concluded and the results were announced. 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.
