Dieless Forming

The sheet metal CNC incremental forming is a flexible dieless forming technology that forms a sheet part by extruding the sheet metal point by point with the movement of forming tool along the forming path. The tool paths therefore have a great effect on the dimensional accuracy, surface quality and forming time. In this paper, an overview of the research status about the forming tool path generation for sheet metal CNC incremental forming is presented briefly.

Arbitrary Component

This paper presents a generic methodology for tool path generation for an arbitrary component that can be formed by single point incremental forming (SPIF) to obtain required geometrical accuracy. Adaptive slicing concepts used in layered manufacturing have been modified and used for generating tool path for SPIF. Experiments and FEA have been carried out to study the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Results indicate that the proposed methodology enhances the accuracy achievable in SPIF.
