The Chair of Forming Technology at the University of Siegen (in short: UTS, Umformtechnik Siegen) works in close cooperation with the chairs of Production Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Materials Engineering. In addition to teaching, the main tasks of the chair are basic research and the support of industrial research.
The work is focused on the investigation of selected sheet metal forming processes. These include profile bending and hydroforming. In addition to profile forming, the chair is also involved in the forming of layered composites and the forming of fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. With this research profile, the chair ideally supports lightweight construction developments in mechanical and vehicle engineering through the use of profiles, hybrid materials and the associated process technology for economical use.
