NSF

Within the NSF project, the University of Deusto has played a key role in the development of tooling, ensuring its compatibility with different types of presses (hammer, mechanical, or hydraulic). The university has also contributed to the simulation of the NSF process and the numerical validation of die designs. Additionally, it has collaborated in optimizing the process through simulation, identifying necessary design modifications, determining optimal process variables, and defining suitable working ranges. The objective is to achieve defect-free final components while improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption in the forging process.
