Micas Simulations 社主催
QFORM UK の開発元である Micas Simulations 社の主催で、QFORM FORUM 2025 が中国・北京にて開催されました。本フォーラムは、金属成形テクノロジーの発展に関心を持つ世界中の専門家コミュニティの代表者—研究者、ユーザ、製造業者、業界関係者、若手研究者—を結集することを目的としたイベントです。フォーラムには50社から70名以上の参加者が集まりました。参加者の活発な反応、質問の数、そして個人的な議論から判断すると、今回のフォーラムではAPIと機械学習が中心的な話題となりました。
フォーラム内では、実際の製造現場におけるQFormの実践的応用に関する発表に特化した、独立した極めて重要なセッションも設けられました。ユーザからの肯定的なフィードバック、実際の実装事例、そして結果と課題の両方に関するオープンで誠実な議論 — これこそがユーザからの信頼を築く真の方法です。
また、QFormアカデミーの主要プロジェクトの一つである「金属成形プロセス国際学生オリンピック」2025年シーズンの国内ステージ優勝者の表彰も行われました。QFormアカデミーは、学術知識と産業応用との隔たりを埋めるために設計された無料の国際教育プラットフォームです。多言語ウェビナー、実践的なトレーニング、共同プロジェクトを提供し、学生が実社会での経験を積むことを支援し、研究者が自身の研究を応用するのを支え、企業に新興人材と最先端の開発へのアクセスを提供します。
その他、参加者全員がトップスペシャリスト指導の下、実践的なトレーニングに参加しました。各セクションでは、参加者に貴重な知見を提供し、この分野における最新の進歩を紹介する、いくつかの注目すべきプレゼンテーションも行われました。
このように本フォーラムでは、AIとAPIの革新から実際の利益まで、協業・教育・技術が業界を前進させる方法が示され、金属成形の未来の探求が行われました。
