Channel Mill’s Top Shell Prototyping with the Single Point Incremental Forming Technology of Sheet Metal

Article Preview

Abstract:

First of all, the theory and application of the Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) technology of sheet metal are introduced at the beginning of this paper; second, several traditional forming technologies of channel mill’s top shell are compared; third, The advantages of SPIF Technology of Sheet Metal in channel mill’s top shell prototyping are analyzed; finally, the steps and methods of channel mill’s top shell design and prototyping with SPIF technology are elaborated through a real business case.
