Boost your production, reduce cost, extend your product range — QForm it!

QForm is a universal program trusted and widely used by researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and technical specialists. By using accurate numerical simulation, users can predict material flow, final geometry, defects, loads, and process limits at early design stages. This significantly reduces the need for costly physical trials, shortens development time, improves product quality, and increases tool life. Various metal products developed with the help of QForm are now used in components and systems that form an integral part of our everyday life.

Technology validation and finalization
Increasing tool life
Predicting defects and structural properties
Quick generation of reports in visual or tables form
Reducing design time
Equipment selection
Design and simulation with a flexible API and machine learning features

QForm is designed for cold, warm, and hot die forging, open-die forging, rolling, profile extrusion, and other specific metal forming processes. The software can be extended with a variety of specialized modules, including microstructure prediction, heat treatment simulation, and user-defined subroutines. A lot of advanced capabilities are implemented through a flexible API, allowing users to customize the program for specific technological tasks and research needs.

Fast to learn, easy to use, ready to simulate

QForm is used for the development of a wide range of metal forming processes for parts production in the aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, aluminum extrusion, and many other industries. QForm combines an intuitive interface with step-by-step initial data, real-time simulation, and clear visualization of results in a separate interface window. No lengthy training is needed to simulate basic processes — get started quickly and work comfortably.

Customized licensing plans and 24/7 online support

We offer a flexible licensing system that allows each user to choose the features and capabilities they need. Adapt QForm to your workflow, optimize costs, and get exactly the features that are most important to your business.

We are happy to provide first-class support to our customers worldwide.

Diverse databases

QForm comes with a huge database of deformed materials, tool materials, drives and lubricants. There are models of mechanical, hydraulic and screw presses, hammers, rotational equipment and several friction models specified in the program

Fast simulations with reliable convergence

QForm predicts defects, analyzes the tool's life cycle, selects equipment, and calculates material consumption. Specialized modules take into account the specifics of each individual operation — rolling, ring rolling, extrusion, sheet metal forming. The convergence of simulation results with real production data has been consistently confirmed.

Detailed user's manual

QForm user’s manual is translated into the most popular languages and includes descriptions of all features of the program as well as many interesting examples, tutorials, and theoretical basics of metal forming processes simulation in QForm written in an easy-to-understand style.

35+ years of expertise in metal forming simulation software

QForm Group has more than 35 years of experience in software development. Our employees have M.S. and Ph.D degrees in the metal forming field. The software works in different languages and is widely used in more than 50 countries around the world by industrial plants as well as leading universities and research centers. We work to ensure that all our developed software has the best user-friendly interface and the highest accuracy of calculations. QForm users have confidence in the high efficiency of the program and the economic value obtained through the realistic simulations.
