A short recap of the conference and recordings of the presentations can be found below or on Techtank’s YouTube Channel.
Increased demand for customized and individualized products puts a greater focus on production flexibility. Flexible production can handle volume changes, different variants, new materials and new material combinations. During Techtank Conference 2020 we will explore the area of Flexible production, with focus on forming and stamping.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, this 6th Techtank Conference will be held in a digital format on one of the world’s leading all-in-one virtual event platforms. We welcome participation from around the world to make it a truly international conference with multiple interactive areas that are optimized for connecting and engaging. Join us from wherever you are located – let’s meet up online for Techtank Conference 2020!
Techtank Conference has been organized since 2015, and is an annual meeting place for manufacturing and engineering companies, research institutes and other organizations that want to keep up to date with current trends in innovative manufacturing for industrial use, with focus on forming and stamping.
Increased demand for customized and individualized products puts a greater focus on production flexibility. This is also addressed in the EU by the objective Excellent, responsive and smart factories & supply chains. Flexible production can handle volume changes, different variants, new materials and new material combinations. During Techtank Conference 2020 we will explore the area of Flexible production, with focus on forming and stamping.

Tue Beijer, CTO, Stilride
Jonas Lindberg Nyvang, CEO, StilrideDigital value chain for industrial origami
STILRIDE explores a digital value chain starting in how to extract curves and surfaces from a single compound surface that can be unfolded into a fully developed surface (flat sheet). The method integrates the technical and styling surfaces, enabling a lower component usage and thus cost and weight. By designing with these true curve geometries as a foundation STILRIDE wants to enable a new value chain for tool-less manufacturing with metallic sheets.

Volvo Cars has a long experience in FE-simulations of sheet metal forming and is one of the leading automotive companies in the field. The simulations include aspects such as advanced material models, friction modeling, failure, and elastic die deformations. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at BTH is conducting research on how digital and model-driven methods in technical product development can lead to innovations that fit into a sustainable society. Since a few years back, Volvo Cars and BTH are combining their strengths in order to develop smart stamping applications. This presentation will include results from two recent studies by Volvo Cars and BTH. The first one is a master thesis on how to measure the force in every cushion pin in a single action die. The second study is a part of Johan Pilthammar´s PhD-thesis were the effects from die deformations on the contact pressure on the sheet are studied when mounting the same die in try-out press or home line.
