Single point incremental sheet metal forming has passed through a period of ample improvement with developing responsiveness from research societies and industries globally. The process expressively spared the practice using costly dies, which makes it an appropriate for manufacturing prototypes small batch production. It also discovers easiness in fabricating components timeworn equipment. Add...

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...
