Conference Topics

To implement the world’s ambitious sustainability mission throughout all industrial segments, the entire value chain has to be considered. The 13th International Tooling Confe ence aims to highlight technologies for sustainable improvements of tooling materials and their application. In addition to the traditional focus areas of alloy development, heat treatment, mechanical properties etc., the conference invites people from academia, supply chain, and product users of the tooling community that highlight technologies that contribute to improve the sustainable production (raw material, circular economy), manufacturability, life-cycle prediction and performance of tooling materials.
