Comparison of the Geometric Accuracy by DSIF Toolpath with SPIF Toolpath

Article Preview

Abstract:

As there is no sufficient support between the single moving tool and fixture, the formed metal sheet is easy to bend in single point incremental forming (SPIF). Double sided incremental forming (DSIF) is proposed in which two tools are used on each side of the sheet to improve the components forming accuracy. Element finite method is introduced to simulate the forming process with both DSIF and SPIF toolpaths and the component geometric accuracies are compared. The simulation result shows the DSIF toolpaths can obtain better geometric accuracy than SPIF.
