Recent developments in incremental sheet forming have resulted the creation of novel manufacturing processes that are highly adaptable and could bring significant economic benefits for advanced technologies low-volume production. In this manuscript, following variables were examined: variation deformation forces a part with pyramidal trunk shape; deformations thinning Al 3003 material during pr...

This paper presents a direct substructuring method to reduce the computing time of implicit simulations of single point incremental forming (SPIF). Substructuring is used to divide the finite element (FE) mesh into several non-overlapping parts. Based on the hypothesis that plastic deformation is localized, the substructures are categorized into two groups: the plastic—nonlinear—substructures a...

This paper proposes an Intelligent Process Model (IPM), founded on the concept of data mining, for predicting springback in the context of sheet metal forming, in particular, Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF). A limitation with the SPIF process is that the application of the process results in geometric deviations, which means that the resulting shape is not necessarily the desired shape....

In search for new manufacturing process, Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) emerged to be one of the useful processes for forming complicated shapes. This is a flexible forming process which eliminates the die, punch and errors due to them. It is widely used for batch production of different shapes which has applications in diverse fields like automobile, aerospace, medical industry, packa...
