Purpose: In this paper the experimental equipment and design of the system for deformation and forming force measuring by single point incremental sheet metal forming are described. Beside this the analysis results of the impact of the wall angle, tool rotation, vertical step size, tool diameter and lubrication on the magnitude of forming force and plastic logarithmic strain are presented.

Abstract Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an emerging technology for manufacturing metal components with fewer tools and equipment compared to conventional forming. In this process, generally performed without dies punches a simple hemispherical shaped tool can be used shaping the final component. Forming limit in incremental defined by maximum formable wall angle. Finite element analysis fra...
