Welcome to the NUMISHEET 2023 Technical Meeting & Forming Technology Forum (FTF). The NUMISHEET conference series is one of the most significant international conference on the area of the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes. It gathers the most prominent experts in numerical methods in sheet forming processes and is an outstanding forum for the exchange of ideas and for the discussion of technologies related to sheet metal forming processes.

The first technical meeting aims at bringing together a sub-group of the community to discuss the current progress and ongoing research on the Loading Path Effect on Forming Limits, at mid-term between Numisheet conferences.
