GTMA and Vero Software to co-host event

The GTMA and Vero Software are co-hosting a sheet-metal event for the automotive industry; it will feature advances in materials and processes across the supply chain.

Demonstrations and information on display at the event, which is free to attend, will be provided by industry OEMs and Tier 1 leaders such as EDM and high-speed machinery manufacturer Agie Charmilles and press tool-maker Accura Geometric. The keynote presentation is from Lotus F1 Team.

Other presentations will include: incremental sheet-metal forming from the GTMA’s Manufacturing Resource Centre; the role Vero’s SMIRT software plays in the automotive die stamping industry; and how CAD technology can be used to manage complex spring-back or sheet-metal deformation. A number of other industry players will have table top ‘hot desk’ exhibitions at the event, including Foregone Solutions, Indysoft, Blum Novotest, Roemheld, Mantech/Werth, Delcam, IMSM, Trac Measurement and Omega Plastics.

This automotive event will be held at Agie Charmilles’ technology centre in Coventry on 5 July, where Agie will also be providing machinery demonstrations. GTMA CEO Julia Moore says: “The GTMA works closely with its members in the supply chain, linking our members with industry’s OEMs and Tier 1s to support, inspire and share best practice up and down the supply chain.

“We’ve held a number of joint events with leading and innovative members like Vero, who make a major contribution to the industry.”
