FormPlanet project aims to develop and demonstrate and integrated ecosystem (open innovation test bed) offering novel testing methodologies to characterise sheet metal properties, predict part performance and prevent production loses to the sheet metal forming industries, tackling the upcoming challenges in formability and part quality assessment.
The project will promote a wide usage of high strength sheet materials while reducing production costs and time-to-market for sheet products in different industrial end-use sectors.
Start:January 2019 – End: December 2021 – 36 months
Through FormPlanet European Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) Open Call,seven European SMEs and companies in the sheet metal forming industry have been selected to receive free services to better characterise sheet metal properties and predict the formation of defects in an early stage of design, forecast part performance and prevent production losses.
The FormPlanet EU-funded project has developed and optimised a set of new advanced methodologies for characterising and modelling metallic materials to predict the appearance of defects such as cracks and foresee part performance from the component design phase. The methods…
The advanced characterisation techniques and modelling approaches has been used by Estamp to reduce cracking during forming through a more accurate material inputs parametrisation. It permitted to generate a material library for CAE software during forming simulations performed in the…
“Up to 80% of the work done in an engineering department is identical or very similar to work done previously” as stated in an Arthur D. Little report [1,2]. due to redundant work done in engineering departments has been estimated…
