Why is it rellevant?
Until now, the use of complex designs with sheet metal was restricted to products whose long production runs were able to absorb the substantial investment in costly dies for stamping and deep drawing. Companies whose products were fabricated in shorter series were forced to use simpler production processes, such as folding. This robbed them of the ability to make their products stand out through design, or meant that their products lacked certain technical characteristics which could only be obtained with sheet metal in more complex forms.

Aims of the Conference:
A. To discover the possibilities offered by ISF (Incremental Sheet Forming, or dieless) technology in comparison to stamping, deep drawing and manual processes, for producing short runs or prototypes in sheet metal. ISF technology is based on 3D sheet forming using incremental, numerically controlled deformations, without the need for costly tooling.

B. To present the new generation of machines designed to implement ISF technology in industry. They have been jointly developed by Meco Machines and Eurecat and enable the production of large parts.

Who is it for:
ISF technology is an excellent solution for companies in the following sectors:

• Automotive
• Aeronautics
• Rail
• Architecture
• Civil engineering
• Machinery
• Capital goods
• Appliance industries
