Conference Mission
The ICNFT is a forum for researchers and professional practitioners to exchange ideas and experience and to discuss aspects of leading-edge novel forming technologies designed to meet the needs of manufacturing industry in present and future years. The former three ICNFT conferences were held in China in 2004, in Germany in 2007, and in China 2012 respectively. The 4th ICNFT will focus not only on research, development and applications of new forming technology, but also on latest achievements in forming composites and other advanced high-performance materials. Delegates will have an opportunity to exchange thoughts and opinions on technological trends and future challenges, and will be encouraged to discuss cultural perspectives of globalization as well as international collaboration perspectives.
