INTRODUCTION Slip Mounted Single Point Deformation expands upon the ideas of single point incremental metal forming, using a 6-axis robotic arm, by exploring the possibilities of how sheet metal can be deformed with minimal support bracing. The goal of this technique and research is to develop controlled methods for fabricating precise, double-curved, structural panels. The slip mounted techniq...

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...

The present paper proposes a numerical-experimental comparative study on the single point incremental forming process. A DC04 steel sheet with thickness of 0.6 mm was used for both numerical simulation using finite element method and experimental research. type trajectory spiral finished part obtained truncated cone-shaped part. analysis program Ls-Dyna. simulations were performed in several va...
