Abstract

The research and development of innovative procedures have a vital importance to lightweight construction technology, in particular for future vehicle concepts. The implementation of modern lightweight construction concepts results in a specification emphasizing the aspects of both uniform forming of large-scale parts as well as complex local geometric details.
