One of the most important challenges facing advanced manufacturing is to increase efficiency and reduce costs in the manufacturing processes, a key factor in the development of new components. It is necessary to develop new advanced manufacturing processes that are automated, flexible and intelligent, allowing better use of raw materials, while reducing costs and emissions.
This event contributes to the training of technical staff from Basque companies, especially SMEs, in assets relating to the metal manufacturing processes using forging technology.
