Simufact Expands Engineering Service Team with Dr. Gabriel Barton

“I am looking forward to the challenges waiting for me in my new position as project leader engineering at Simufact,” said Dr. Gabriel Barton. “Engineering projects are often the key to a successful and long-term use of forming simulation in the companies. Regardless whether the customer is planning a kick-off project, needs the transfer of technology and knowledge, or would like to outsource entire development tasks, Simufact, with its competence and know-how in forming simulation and in the implementation of simulation technology, can enlarge the benefit for the customer.”

“The addition of Dr. Barton to our engineering service department enables us to better coordinate the growing number of project requests we receive and to lead each of them to success“, said Michael Wohlmuth, managing director of Simufact Engineering GmbH. “With his long-time experience and his know-how in forming technology and simulation, he is the ideal addition for us and a competent contact person for our customers. We are looking forward to working with him in our team.”

Dr. Gabriel Barton can look back on a long-time working experience in forming technologies and simulation applications. In his role as a research staff member at the Institute of metal forming, RWTH Aachen, Dr. Gabriel Barton was responsible for research projects. He received his PhD in the area of finite element modeling of hydrostatic extrusions of magnesium alloy. In his former position as a project leader at acut Aachener Umformtechnik GmbH he was responsible for the preparation and execution of consulting, optimization, development projects for the forming industry, and the development and implementation of finite element simulation models.
