Larsson Audi AG, DE BMW Group, DE Daimler AG, DE Centro Ricerche Fiat, IT Honda Engineering Co., Ltd., JP Adam Opel AG, DE Renault S. A. S., FR Volkswagen AG, DE Volvo Car Corp., SE Efficient part production Car body part production, based on panels, profiles or castings, experiences a constant pressure: Mastering new lightweight materials, realising higher production and cost efficiencies as well as optimising qualities, e.g. through greater manufacturing precision, constitute permanent challenges. This is also because the press plant and tool making, together with the foundry, constitute the fundament of industrial vehicle manufacturing, influencing, through the quality of their results, many subsequent production steps. Today, especially the processing of new lightweight car body materials such as press hardened steels, high strength aluminium alloys and, increasingly, fibre reinforced plastic composites and their industrial processability are under intense discussion. Equally, demands for higher production flexibility and a globally uniform production quality are on the agenda. In this situation, the Automotive Circle International conference on Forming in Car Body Engineering again gathers its international network of automotive engineering experts in Bad Nauheim, Germany. With trailblazing technical presentations and in-depth debates, the conference again aims to define today s technical state of the art and future trends in the production of automotive car body parts, based on panels, profiles as well as castings. The conference addresses international automotive OEM engineers responsible for the pre-development, development, planning and quality control of car body part production processes, in press plant, tool making and foundry, as well as their system suppliers and engineering service providers involved in relevant development projects. Conference Chair Dr. Dirk Meine \\ Automotive Circle International, DE Focus-Workshops in English language As an interactive benefit, the conference stages intensive Focus-Workshops on the afternoon of the first conference day, dedicated to specific current issues in car body part production processes and moderated by renowned OEM experts in the particular field. Choose the workshop that best suits your individual interests and bring up your aspects for discussion. Positive side effect: The Focus-Workshops effectively bring you in contact with international peers who share your interests, maximizing your networking possibilities. Live-polls on site During the two conference days, live polls among the auditorium will be held via an automated voting system, taking the opportunity to gain some insight into the considerations of this unique assembly of international car body engineering experts. The results will be displayed immediately in the conference plenum and will also be documented for all conference participants. Delegates will also have the possibility to address the conference plenum with their own questions via this system. INTERACTIVE

3 Tutorial TUESDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER 2012 in German language PLUS TUTORIAL Tutorial Forming & Press Technology in German language Before the start of the main conference, the four-hour tutorial on Forming & Press Technology offers newcomers to the field the opportunity to make themselves acquainted with the fundamentals of panel forming and industrial press plant technology. In this way, participants wishing to review these fundamentals may prepare themselves in an optimal way for the high-level technical presentations of the main event. The tutorial addresses: \\ Engineers with responsibilities in car body part development, pre-development, process planning and production, who are in need of a fundamental overview of press plant technology \\ Young engineers with limited practical experience \\ Experienced engineers who have taken on new tasks concerning press plant processes wishing to refresh their knowledge TUTORIAL FORMING & PRESS TECHNOLOGY h h including coffee break Tutor: Peter Blau, Head of the Department Tooling Machines and Automatisation, Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU, Chemnitz, DE CONTENTS: \\ Fundamentals of panel forming operations: Metallurgical processes during forming, formability of various materials \\ Simulation of forming operations \\ Press technology from tryout to high-volume series presses; Pros and Cons of different press types \\ Process technology for hot-forming \\ Options for process and quality control \\ Techniques of forming with working media: Blow forming and Hydroforming \\ Current technical developments in press plant technology and their potential for series application Opportunities for further questions and discussions Please note that the tutorial and the main conference are independent events. Separate pre-registration for the tutorial is required, since participation is limited. Please also note that the tutorial will be held in German language!
