Lotus F1 headlines at motorsport event

On 5th July 2012 at Agie Charmilles’ technology centre in Coventry, the GTMA and Vero Software will be co-hosting a sheetmetal event for the automotive industry, featuring an in depth look at advances in materials, along with a number of processes from right across the supply chain.
Demonstrations and information on display at the event, which is free to attend, will be provided by industry OEMs and supply chain companies such as EDM and machine tool manufacturer Agie Charmilles and press toolmaker Accura Geometric. The keynote presentation is from Lotus F1.

Vero and 3D digitising and verification specialists Central Scanning will be demonstrating how VISI’s CAD technology can be used to manage complex springback or sheetmetal deformation based on user-defined driven geometry, Finite Element Analysis, or laser scanning results.

Dutton Simulation will discuss costing and feasibility methods for upfront analysis, while high strength steel producer SSAB’s presentation on cold forming applications will address the question – is it hardness which governs die life length?

Delegates will also see presentations on incremental sheetmetal forming from the GTMA’s Manufacturing Resource Centre and the role Vero’s SMIRT software plays in the automotive die stamping industry.

A number of other industry players will have tabletop exhibitions at the event, including Foregone Solutions, Indysoft, Blum-Novotest, Roemheld, Mantech/Werth, Delcam, IMSM, Trac Measurement and Omega Plastics.

Interested parties are invited to contact the GTMA directly.
