Single Point Incremental Forming as a Cost-Effective Sheet Forming Process for Small Batch Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, developing flexible and economical sheet forming processes and technologies is very important. Incremental forming is one of the promising sheet forming processes and it can be valid for these purposes. Especially, single-point incremental forming (SPIF) becomes popular because of its low expenses and rapidly adaption to customers’ needs. In this study, first a brief overview of SPIF will be given and then, outcome of implementing this sheet forming process with minimum costs will be presented. During the study, tool path for forming process is generated using free student version of CAD/CAM software package and low-cost CNC machine used to forming sheet workpiece. Aluminum AA3003 is used as material and combination of oil with grease used as a lubrication for experiments. The result indicated that SPIF is cost-effective process for small batch and prototype production.
