This handbook presents a compilation of the technologies and advancements that have been developed over the past 30 years in press forming technology. The study includes the identification of a technology for the future development of press forming technology. It also examines the development of press forming technology as a joint effort in the two technological fields of processing technology and materials manufacturing technology, and as a joint effort that spans two industries, namely the automotive industry, and the steel industry.
