The use of modern manufacturing techniques and innovative processes, as well as the pursuit of future-oriented solutions, characterise both large and, increasingly, small and medium-sized enterprises. The IFUM is a flexible research partner here, providing support based on comprehensive, fundamental and application-oriented knowledge in the field of forming technology.

As a practically oriented institute, the IFUM is concerned not only with basic research, but also with the investigation of current forming technology problems coming out of the industry. The IFUM is a committed and competent partner in solving specific problems, as well as for the development of comprehensive concepts.

We look forward to working together successfully!

IFUM Wishes

Dear colleagues, partners, and friends of IFUM,

another eventful year, the 70th for IFUM, is drawing to a close. Despite some significant challenges, especially in recent years, we look back on our accomplishments with pride and gratitude.

One of the highlights this year was the Forming Technology Colloquium Hannover, which once again served as a platform for intensive professional exchange. Furthermore, compared to previous years, an increasing number of doctoral degrees were awarded.

We also set important thematic focuses at IFUM with projects on current topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in forming technology and the development of resource-efficient manufacturing processes. Additionally, with the SCALE project, an entirely new process chain is being developed.

But now it is time to take a moment to relax. We would like to thank everyone involved for the good and pleasant cooperation and wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, the opportunity to relax and a healthy and successful New Year!

Let us continue to face the challenges of the new year with courage and careful consideration together!
