Introduction
CPF
The Ohio State University (OSU) and have established the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) on Precision Forming (CPF) focusing on research needs of metal forming industry. Funding is provided by National Science Foundation (NSF) and member companies. CPF (www.cpforming.org) benefits from research conducted at Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing (ERC/NSM www.ercnsm.org).
Objectives
CPF
Improve existing metal forming processes/products and develop new innovative processes, tooling and equipment.
Conduct projects in close collaboration with industry and transfer the results to the member companies. Train and educate engineers in the fundamentals and practice of metal forming science and technology.
