In sheet and bulk forming, numerical simulation has become established over the last 20 years as an indispensable tool for research and industrial practice. The numerical calculation of forming processes supports a time- and cost-efficient development in the context of a virtual product evaluation. Currently, simulation and measurement results are mainly displayed on conventional screens. However, this approach has several disadvantages. On the one hand, only cut-outs can be displayed, especially in the case of large components. A visualisation of entire components in real size is often not possible. On the other hand, no direct comparison with the real components is possible. Augmented Reality is a promising approach to solve the challenges outlined above. As part of the contribution, an innovative approach for component validation based on Augmented Reality technology will be introduced. Thereby, the visualisation using different Augmented Reality devices and the feasibility of a measurement task with Augmented Reality devices will be presented.
