The Symposium on Digital and Robotic Forming 2024

June 16–20, 2024 • Cleveland Hilton • Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Technical Program

The Symposium on Digital and Robotic Forming 2024, a brand new TMS event, will explore science and technology associated with numerically controlled forming methodologies that include robotics, machine learning, and/or combinations of manufacturing practices and how they can be applied to forming techniques, processing science, and the way we manufacture and make materials. This symposium will convene experts and stakeholders to discuss the supply chain challenges for large metal parts and more.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) in Robotic Forming
• Fundamentals of Incremental Forming
• Hybrid Processes (e.g., Stamping & Robotic Forming, Robotic Forming & Stretch Forming)
• ICME in Support of Forming Operations
• ICME-Based Design in Robotics
• In-situ, In-operando, and Post-mortem Characterization (Temperature, Strain, Microstructure)
• Industry Application on Infrastructure (Includes: Marine, Defense, Automotive, Aerospace, Medical, Large-Scale Energy, Construction, Architecture)
• Methods for 3D/4D Processes
• Robotics: Enabling and Application
• Robotic Forming on Non-Metals
• Tools: Computational and Control
