This book groups the main advances in material forming,considering different processes (conventional and non-conventional) focusing in polymers,composites and metals,that are analyzed from the state of the art, describing the most significant recent advances and identifying the present challenges from the experimental, modeling and numerical points of view. Chapters include a large list of references and have been written by recognized specialists. Special emphasis is devoted to the contributions of the European Scientific Association for Material Forming (ESAFORM) during the last 10 years (1998-2007) and in particular the ones coming from its annual international conference.
