Due to increasing energy and resource costs at the one hand and upcoming regulations on energy and resource efficiency at the other, a growing interest of machine tool builders to the environmental performance of their machine tools can be observed today. The last decade, academic as well as industrial research groups started to assess the energy demand of discrete part manufacturing processes and indicated a significant potential for improvement [1]. In contrast to conventional machining processes (e.g. milling, turning…), (sheet) metal forming processes are still less well documented in terms of their energy demand [2]. In consequence, potential energy efficiency improvement measures for …
