- More effective analytical mechanics—this allows for a better description of the material behaviour of thermoplastics under ISF conditions;
- The development or improvement of alternative hybrid forming and toolpath strategies—these solutions represent a viable way to improve the process in terms of the material formability and the variety and complexity of the components, among others;
- The increased use of thermo-mechanical numerical simulations—the development of accurate numerical models represents a valid tool to investigate various features, such as deformations and failure mechanisms.
