During the conference, the ECOTRE Valente technical team will lead a series of training and applied sessions focused on the use of DEFORM software, with an emphasis on advanced simulations for additive manufacturing and plastic deformation processes.
Schedule of sessions:
Thursday, 11 September (11:30–13:00), Introduction to DEFORM software
Friday, 12 September (11:30–13:00), Additive process simulation with DEFORM – Room 1, Speaker: Cristian Viscardi
Plastic deformation process simulation with DEFORM – Room 3, Speaker: Stefano Bertoni
Friday, 12 September (14:30–17:00), Case study discussion on additive processes – Room 1, Speaker: Cristian Viscardi
Case study discussion on plastic deformation processes – Room 3, Speaker: Stefano Bertoni
Explore the full conference programme.
The sessions will build on real industrial projects, exploring key aspects such as predicting production challenges, optimising geometries, and reducing costs through numerical analysis. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the potential of predictive simulation in designing high-performance components.
