About

Marco Schikorra is a leading figure in manufacturing engineering, with a primary focus on innovative metal forming and extrusion technologies. His most notable contribution is the development of Curved Profile Extrusion (CPE), a groundbreaking extension of conventional extrusion that enables the efficient production of three-dimensionally curved structural components. By allowing different curvatures to be achieved with a single setup, CPE dramatically enhances manufacturing flexibility and cost-effectiveness for complex profiles. His seminal 2008 paper, "Manufacture of 3D Curved Profiles for Structure Components," which has garnered 8 citations, serves as a foundational reference in this niche field. Schikorra’s work bridges the gap between theoretical process design and practical industrial application, offering solutions for lightweight construction and automotive sectors. His research continues to influence the advancement of flexible forming processes, positioning him as a key innovator in the evolution of modern extrusion techniques.
