Our now traditional user meeting will take place in April in Germany under Dr.-Ing. H.-W. Raedt's guidance. We are preparing a rich and engaging program and will organize hands-on master classes for participants. Save the dates in your calendar, the detailed agenda and event information will follow soon!

This webinar focuses on the practical use of API tools in QForm UK to automate routine engineering tasks and improve workflow efficiency.

Learning basic programming tools is easier than it may seem, and the benefits are significant, from saving engineers’ time to creating customized solutions for specific tasks. By using the QForm API, repetitive operations can be automated, reducing manual work and lowering the risk of errors.

During the session, we will show how API tools can automate model preparation, simulation setup, batch calculations, result processing, and report generation. You will see practical examples of how routine actions can be replaced with simple scripts and automated workflows.

SAFORM2026 will be jointly organized by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National Technical University of Athens, and will take place in the historic and vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece, from 27 to 29 April 2026.

Each year, the ESAFORM Conference gathers around 400 leading experts from academia and industry, offering a dynamic platform to present and discuss the latest advances in theory, experimentation, simulation, and application in the field of material forming.

Dr. Nikolay Biba, Director of Micas Simulations Limited, will attend this event. Details will be announced later.

This webinar presents the advanced simulation capabilities of QForm for ring rolling, wheel rolling, tube rolling, and skew rolling processes. The session focuses on the numerical simulation of material flow, stress–strain state, and thermal behavior in complex three-dimensional rolling operations.

Particular attention is given to deformation mechanics, contact conditions, roll kinematics, and the prediction of rolling load, torque, and tool stresses. Participants will learn how QForm enables accurate analysis of metal flow, dimensional evolution, wall thickness variation, and defect formation, including laps and underfilling.

We are pleased to announce that QForm Group will be a bronze sponsor of the 15th FORGING CONFERENCE, organized by the Forging Association of the Czech Republic, taking place on May 19–20, 2026, in Brno – Pisárky, Czech Republic.

We look forward to seeing you at our booth!

Paul Mordvintsev, Business Development Director of Formatech Systems SL (QForm Group), will present the report "Preventing forging defects in aluminium and steel forgings through iterative automated preform design" and discuss CAD QForm Direct.

International Trade Fair for Castings and Forgings with Processing. Product complexity and the demands on castings and forgings are increasing. It is important for customers to obtain a high-quality, ready-to-install product. CastForge will bring together supply and demand, and will present the value-added chain extending from cast blanks or forging blanks and machining through to the final component.

Metal Forming 2026 is the 21st in a series of international Conferences organized since 1974 by AGH University of Krakow, Poland. From 1994 to 2010 the Conference was organized biannually, jointly with the University of Birmingham, UK. To provide a forum for academics and industrialists to discuss and disseminate recent developments, innovations, and advances in metal forming processes. The conference will be an opportunity for those working in physical and numerical modelling, as well as those involved in industrial applications of the results of theoretical research. QForm specialists will give a presentation at the conference, more information will be provided here later.

Copper Alloys 2026 is a scientific conference on copper materials. International arena for scientific and technical development – forum for copper alloys industries, universities and research institutions. Copper Alloys 2026 will give a comprehensive look at challenges and developments of copper user industries and will allow active sharing of knowledge and opinions. The presentation topic and participation details will be announced later.

ALUMINIUM is the world's leading trade fair for one of the most exciting materials of our time. As the industry's most important platform, the trade fair covers the entire value chain for the material. Under the motto "Sharing a Vision", the focus is not only on knowledge transfer but also on personal dialogue on current industry topics – with a focus on those topics that are particularly challenging, burning but also full of opportunities: Sustainability, recycling, circular economy, transformation and technologies. The shared vision aims to establish aluminium as a sustainable and future-proof material – the material is and remains a game changer in terms of climate change, resource protection and transformation. QForm Team will be ready to present QForm’s latest simulation solutions and answer all your questions.

The 15th ICTP (The International Conference on the Technology of Plasticity) 2026 will be held at the “Jeju Shinhwa World” in Jeju island, Korea during October 11-16, 2026. Jeju island is a world natural heritage appointed by UNESCO.

ICTP is not only an academic society that presents the latest scientific achievements, but also a place to build a bridge between basic science and industrial applications.

Jeju island is an excellent location for this conference in that it naturally attracts the participants due to its beauty. An excellent hospitality will be provided together with nice social programs, educational workshop, welcome & banquet dinner, cultural excursion. Dr. Nikolay Biba, Director of Micas Simulations Limited, will attend this event. Details will be announced later.

The conference will be co-organized by 3 national universities on a rotating basis every 2 years: AGH Krakow, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, and Czestochowa University of Technology. The Symposium will focus on key current issues in aluminum extrusion: Structures (modern architecture based on aluminum alloys, devices, tools), 3D Printing (printing tools, coatings, laser cladding), Modeling (Gleeble, plastometry tests, material models for FEA). The main goal of the Symposium is to integrate the scientific community around advanced metal and alloy extrusion technologies, present the latest research results from Teams, and potentially develop joint solutions, grant ideas, patents, or publications.

The ET Seminar is a comprehensive technical event that addresses virtually every facet of the aluminum extrusion industry through its quality programming, which spans across three days. ET has a reputation for a commitment to excellence that is highly respected by those in and around the aluminum extrusion industry. We will provide the presentation topic and participation details later.
