Metal forming processes include bulk forming and sheet metal forming with numerous applications. This book covers some of the latest developments aspects of these processes such as numerical simulations to achieve optimum combinations and to get insight into process capability. Implementation of new technologies to improve performance based on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technologies are also discussed, including the use of CAD/CAM/CAE techniques to enhance precision in manufacturing. Applications of AI/ML, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the role of tribological aspects in green engineering are included to suit Industry 4.0.
Features:
