➀ The Fraunhofer IWU, in collaboration with MARK Metallwarenfabrik GmbH and DEVAD GmbH, has successfully integrated ultrasound vibrations into industrial deep drawing processes with frequencies up to 500 cycles per minute using the VibroDraw method.

➁ The technique reduces friction significantly, leading to less material stress, surface damage, and cracking.

➂ The research team, led by Martin Mädlow, achieved a 20% reduction in friction by using the matrix in the forming process, with potential for further improvement.
