Forming technology is increasingly gaining traction in industrial manufacturing, as many shaped parts can be produced more economically this way. Typical applications and areas of use are introduced. Examples and test questions allow for self-assessment of learning progress. In the 12th edition, content related to deep drawing, bending, cutting, joining through forming, and forming machines has been revised and supplemented.
