QFORM UK

Design and Simulation Solutions For Metal Forming Industries

Boost your production, reduce cost, extend your product range — QForm it!

QForm UK is a universal program trusted and widely used by researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and technical specialists. By using accurate numerical simulation, users can predict material flow, final geometry, defects, loads, and process limits at early design stages. This significantly reduces the need for costly physical trials, shortens development time, improves product quality, and increases tool life. Various metal products developed with the help of QForm UK are now used in components and systems that form an integral part of our everyday life.
