recently, incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process as one of the new methods in rapid prototyping collection has been considered by researchers. this process is based on a defined path in cnc controller and applies a spherical-head tool that supplies the required pressure for sheet metal forming. despite affirmation of process ability in forming symmetric geometries, some of its aspects s...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

Single point incremental sheet metal forming is a sheet metal forming process that forms products without the complex dies and tools with low cost. In this study, the incremental sheet metal forming process has been experimentally investigated on the explosively-welded Al/Cu bimetal sheets. Also, the effects of process parameters, such as arrangement of layer`s bimetal, tool diameter and tool p...

The incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. This paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of AA1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

Single point incremental sheet forming (SPISF) has demonstrated significant potential to form complex sheet metal parts without using component-specific tools and is suitable for fabricating low-volume functional sheet metal parts economically. In the SPIF process, a ball nose tool moves along a predefined tool path to form the sheet. This work aims to optimize the formability and forming force...

The effect of forming parameters during the incremental sheet forming process (ISF) was studied for a circular shape sheet part. ISF is known as a rapid prototyping method to produce sheet metal parts in a batch production series. ISF has found to be useful and advantageous which increases its application in industry. A CNC lathe machine was used in this study because it was easily programmed t...

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...
