In this paper, Computer Aided Designing (CAD) in conjunction with Rapid Tooling is applied to design and produce forming tools (punch and die) for stretch-formed jewelry (generated on thin sheet metal on top of which jewelry patterns are raised with forming tools by stretching the sheet metal beyond its elastic limit. The work presents a parametric voxel based CAD paradigm for modeling of such ...

recently, incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process as one of the new methods in rapid prototyping collection has been considered by researchers. this process is based on a defined path in cnc controller and applies a spherical-head tool that supplies the required pressure for sheet metal forming. despite affirmation of process ability in forming symmetric geometries, some of its aspects s...

Single point incremental sheet metal forming is a sheet metal forming process that forms products without the complex dies and tools with low cost. In this study, the incremental sheet metal forming process has been experimentally investigated on the explosively-welded Al/Cu bimetal sheets. Also, the effects of process parameters, such as arrangement of layer`s bimetal, tool diameter and tool p...

frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. the present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. ther...

Abstract In forming processes, friction is a local phenomenon influenced by the contact conditions at tool-sheet metal interface. A multi-scale model applicable for coated sheets developed boundary lubrication regime which accounts physical behavior of coating and measured surface topographies sheet tools. The patches therefore real area determined interface different loading conditions. single...
