Research at the Institut of Forming Technology and Machines
The IFUM deals with both basic research and current application-orientated issues from almost all areas of forming technology. The institute's experience in research and development covers innovative processes and methods of cold and hot forming, future-oriented machine and tool concepts as well as the handling of new materials and composites in both experimental and virtual terms. The institute's core competencies include the specialist areas of sheet metal and solid forming, forming technology machines and material characterisation and simulation. On the following pages you will find an overview of our main research areas.
