Single point incremental forming (SPIF) that will produce non-symmetric sheet metal parts has been rarely dealt with so far. SPIF of a Francis hydro-turbine vane made aluminum alloy is studied as typical example in this work. At first, concave geometry, encompassing the desired shape designed, from which formed part be ultimately cut out. The necessary toolpaths are created by using CAM softwar...

Compared to conventional sheet forming operations, incremental (ISF) is a flexible technique that can achieve higher formability in terms of localized deformation. Due excellent mechanical properties and X-ray penetration, polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) an ideal alternative titanium alloy stainless steel orthopedic applications. In this study, 3-axis desktop manufacturing system has been fabrica...

Single point incremental forming is one of the most intensely researched die-less manufacturing process. This process implies usage a CNC equipment or serial robot which deforms sheet metal with help relatively simple tool that follows an imposed toolpath. As every cold process, besides many given advantages it has also some drawbacks. One big drawback in comparison other processes low accuracy...

Incremental sheet forming has, despite its great flexibility, not yet been widely adopted by the industry, due to limited geometric accuracy. One of approaches overcome this problem is development closed-loop control systems. Such systems are mostly based on linearization with respect a nominal toolpath. In work, different create such linearized process models reviewed. By implementing in numer...
