The International Conference on Extrusion and Benchmark (ICEB) has become the biggest event in Europe related to the recent developments on the Extrusion Technologies and their analysis by FEM simulation.  The  third edition has just ended and ICEB fourth edition is planned for September 2013 in Dortmund, Germany.

More than 150 delegates attended the 2009 edition, with participation from over 27 countries with a strong representation from Europe but also with many participants coming from America and the far east. With two-thirds of the participants coming from the industry and with representatives from all the multinationals of aluminum, a strong interest was evidenced in getting and sharing knowledge on these topics of technological frontier. The aim of the conference is to join together technical and scientific experts, to widespread their knowledge and to form an international community for the discussion of state of the art, as well as future developments, in the field of extrusion and in its most powerful tool, the numerical simulation. 

The ICEB conference is a two-in-one event, merging a conference on the “Latest advances in the extrusion of light alloys” with an industrial worldwide contest: “FEM codes Benchmark”.

  • In the conference sessions invited papers, as well as contributions from Academia and Industries, will describe all the most recent developments in the analysis, optimization and research of the light alloys Extrusion processing.
  • In the benchmark sessions, participants will be asked to simulate the extrusion of an industrial case (a specially designed die for emphasizing selected process-related issues), on the base of die geometries, material properties, ram speed and tools temperatures, as they were monitored by the organizers. Only during the conference the blind simulations results will be discussed and compared to the data recorded during experimental trials, thus allowing a clear and equal comparison of different FEM codes and simulating approaches.


This two-in-one event provides a unique opportunity to:

  • learn about the state of the art of emerging technologies, innovation and simulation capabilities in the extrusion of light alloys;
  • get guidelines for best process analysis and product optimization;
  • understand the potential of your current simulation tool;
  • have the widest possible range of information on extrusion simulation today.


The conference heads toward:

  • Extruders (Technicians, R&D divisions, Production Managers) 
  • Extruded profile users 
  • Academic and Industrial Researchers 
  • Die Makers (Project Managers, R&D) 
  • Alloys specialists 
  • Software Houses, Software Distributors 
  • Press and Equipment Builders
