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 developed solve current industrial challenges and contribute to increase the competitiveness of the companies in…

FormPlanet project, coordinated by Eurecat, has been recognised as one of the finalists of  the Standards+Innovation Awards 2021 in the project award category, selecting a European project that has successfully contributed to standardisation. The Standards+Innovation Awards, organised by CEN-CENELEC, the European Committees for standardisation and for Electrotechnical Standardisation, acknowledge the important contribution of research and innovation to standardisation and celebrates…

FormPlanet project has published two CEN workshops agreements (CWAs) with the objective to standardise two novel testing methodologies that allow to characterise sheet metal properties and predict part performance. The two agreements are the result of eight months of work by the members of the CEN Workshop: “Innovative testing in support of the sheet metal…

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 awarded companies applied to the FormPlanet Open Call, which was launched on…

SMEs and companies in the sheet metal forming sector can now apply to free services to better characterise sheet metal properties, predict part performance and prevent production loses FormPlanet European Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) project has launched a call for SMEs and companies in the sheet metal forming sector to access to services to…

The FormPlanet project will create an Open Innovation TestBed (OITB) in Europe for the purpose of increasing the productivity of metal forming industries by developing new experimental methodologies and modelling approaches for predicting and optimizing the performance of materials and parts and for reducing the marketing time of new developments in this area. Sheet metal…
