The purpose of the International Scientific Association Conference for Material Forming is to disseminate scientific and technological information and the latest worldwide research and achievements in the processes of transformation of materials by the world’s leading experts in both the industrial and academic fields. 

Mondragon Unibertsitatea has two lines of research in the field of the transformation of materials: Advanced Material Forming Processes and High-Performance Machining. The research staff of these groups participates in many research projects, in addition to working closely with companies in the environment to improve their competitiveness. This has allowed Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa to become a benchmark in the field of the transformation of materials and to organise the 22nd edition of ESAFORM in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

The programme

The Congress will be held at the Europa Palace and will begin with the institutional opening by Cristina Uriarte, Minister of Education; Vicente Atxa, the Rector of Mondragon Unibertsitatea; Carlos García, Dean of Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa; and Roberto Uribetxeberria, the I&T (Innovation and Transfer) Coordinator of Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, as well as featuring the participation of Ton van den Boogaard (University of Twente, Netherlands), President of ESAFORM. 

Plenary conferences

The plenary conferences on the opening day, 8 May, will be delivered by Prof. Takayuki Hama, from the Technological University of Kyoto, who will discuss the modelling of crystalline plasticity in sheet metal forming operations, and Andoitz Aranburu, who will talk about the production facilities of Fagor Arrasate for lightening technologies.

On Thursday, 9 May, Prof. Dirk Mohr of ETH Zurich, will present the latest advances in the prediction of ductile failure, and in the afternoon, Mathias Peter Hartmann, from the Technical University of Munich, will discuss the evolution of the manual impregnation of pre-preg to the modelling of integrated process control.

Finally, on 10 May, Dr Fernando Lasagni of the Advanced Centre for Aerospace Technologies, will close the plenary conferences on the additive manufacturing of aeronautical components: considerations along the value chain.
