AutoForum R13 Event

Troy, MI, USA - PNC Conference Room A

AutoForm Engineering USA is delighted to invite users from the USA and Canada to AutoForum, which will take place at the PNC Building, Troy, MI on Thursday, January 29, 2026. At this event, we will present key insights into integrating AutoForm Products into your Digital Process Chain as well as the most important features and enhancements introduced in our latest software release.

What’s New in AutoForm R13:

  • AutoForm Forming R13 provides new features and enhancements for the sheet metal forming process chain, most of them developed for the stamping process feasibility and stamping process validation phases. This release also offers a new feature for file size reduction, which allows for significantly smaller simulation files without compromising results or influencing engineering decisions.
  • AutoForm Assembly R13 offers new developments in the BiW assembly process chain. You will be able to achieve improvements in the joining and hemming of sheet metal parts as well as in dimensional accuracy.
  • We would also like to introduce our first cloud product AutoForm-CarBodyPlanner. It is a fully automated, SaaS-based solution that uses knowledge engineering to quickly provide reliable material consumption and feasibility results for the entire BiW assembly process chain.
  • We will also introduce the concept of incorporating Quality Tasks in conjunction with AutoForm to enhance your Digital Process Chain.

We invite you to join us to discover how our latest software release can support your daily work.
