Research on a New Scanning Process for the Flexible Forming Using Plasma Arc

Abstract:

Flexible forming using plasma arc (FFUPA) is a newly developed process of sheet metal forming, which can deform the sheet metal without mould and die, and thus is a promising method for rapid prototyping and short-run production. To achieve a large bending angle, it is unavoidable to scan the sheet metal for multiple times. However, the average bending angle reported in literature for each time is limited. To obtain a larger bending angle by each scan, this paper proposes a new scanning process, in which an assistant heat source is placed ahead of the plasma arc. The proposed scanning process has been studied by numerical simulation and optimized for the optimal processing parameters.
