Abstract. This paper provides an analysis of the Rigid Body Motion (RBM) in multi-stage Single Point Incremental Forming a cylindrical cup. The RBM is studied using Digital Image Correlation to track material each contour tool, resulting better understanding phenomenon than has been shown literature. study shows that highest Z-translations midpoint cone take place last contours stage, where the...

This paper describes single point micro incremental forming (SPMIF) applied to the fabrication of meso-scale shell structures. The authors have developed SPMIF without using any die and backing plate for flexible micro forming of miniature 3D products in a range of micro meters to sub-millimeters. A desk-top type of CNC milling machine was constructed as an experimental apparatus. Thin aluminum...
