Recent development trends in sheet metal forming

Sheet metal forming is one of the most important key technologies in manufacturing industry. It may be reasoned by several facts, among them the economy of the sheet-forming processes concerning the material and energy consumption, as well as the overall cost efficiency. To keep this key role of sheet metal forming in manufacturing industry, a continuous development is necessary concerning the materials, the development of new innovative forming processes, the tooling and manufacturing equipment. The ever-increasing requirements stated by the automotive industry may be regarded as one of the main driving forces behind sheet-metal-forming innovations. In this paper, some recent developments in sheet metal forming will be overviewed concerning the materials and process developments, as well as the application of various methods of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE).
