As part of the 11th Dortmund Grinding Seminar, a special highlight will be the presentation of the anniversary edition marking the 100th anniversary of the renowned reference book Grinding, Honing, Lapping and Polishing, published by Vulkan Verlag, to the expert audience. The new editors, Prof. Biermann and Prof. Möhring, are delighted that this long-standing and respected body of knowledge has been enriched by numerous contemporary contributions on research and development in the field of machining with geometrically undefined cutting edges. These underline the enduring potential of such processes in light of future industrial requirements.

On this basis, the Dortmund Grinding Seminar will once again provide a platform for presenting and discussing current research and development topics through a lecture program and an exhibition featuring live demonstrations. New materials, along with rising demands for dimensional accuracy and surface quality, present machining with geometrically undefined cutting edges with fresh challenges. These developments drive targeted advancements both in research and in industrial practice. Thanks to innovative grinding tools and optimized processes, grinding methods are increasingly applied beyond finishing operations, proving their high productivity in a wide range of applications. At the same time, energy and resource efficiency in manufacturing is coming into sharper focus.

We are very pleased to invite you to engage in professional exchange and to join us for the presentation of the anniversary edition of Grinding, Honing, Lapping and Polishing at the 11th Dortmund Grinding Seminar, hosted by the Institute of Machining Technology in Dortmund.
