The paper investigates the multi-objective design optimisation of a stamping process to control the final shape and the final quality using advanced high strength steels. The design problem of the stamping process is formulated to minimise the difference between the desired shape and the final geometry obtained by numerical simulation accounting elastic springback. In addition, the final product quality is maximised by improving safety zones without wrinkling, thinning, or failure. Numerical results show that the proposed methodology improves the final product quality while reduces its springback.
