We present a series of lectures divided into different thematic mini symposia as well as a workshop on benchmark testing.

Conference topics are:

• Data-driven process modeling,
• process optimized simulation solutions (incl. material models, topology optimization, tribology, springback compensation, and geometry assurance),
• property controlled forming processes,
• flowsite description,
• failure modeling,
• simulation validation,
• mold modeling,
• inspection technology,
• deviation compensation,
• uncertainty qualification,
• sustainable/advanced/smart materials,
• multi-material concepts/solutions,
• lightweight structures,
• digital transformation,
• surface quality,
• tools and dies and additive manufacturing
