Don't miss the April 2023 issue of International Sheet Metal Review (ISMR) magazine - you can read it on https://joom.ag/oR6d

In this issue of ISMR, and in line with International Women’s Day recently, we highlight an article on page 18 of this issue by Lucy Pringle on how to get more women into manufacturing. On page 20, you can read about the benefits of additive manufacturing for the creation of lighter, stronger parts and systems, with individual customisations. It enables a design-driven manufacturing process, where design determines production and not the other way around.

Growth patterns, technology innovations, trends and forecasts for global home appliance markets are highlighted for manufacturers on page 26. We outline macro-economic forecasts for Poland and trends in its automotive sector for manufacturers on page 34.  Previews of two forthcoming exhibitions, LAMIERA (Italy) on page 30 and ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE (Poland), on page 36, can be found in this issue. Press brakes, coil processing and roll forming also come under the spotlight in this issue.

ISMR’s 2023 media kit, which includes a month-by-month editorial features list as well as new and improved print and online promotional opportunities, is on https://ismr.net/sites/default/files/2022-10/Media%20Pack%202023_small.pdf and its fully interactive 2023 media pack, including all online opportunities, can be accessed on https://joom.ag/105d
