Incremental sheet forming is a specific group of sheet forming methods that enable the manufacture of complex parts utilizing computer numerical control instead of specialized tools. It is an incredibly adaptable operation that involves minimal usage of sophisticated tools, dies, and forming presses. Besides its main application in the field of rapid prototyping, incremental sheet forming processes can be used for the manufacture of unique parts in small batches. The goal of this study is to broaden the knowledge of the deformation process in single-point incremental forming. This work studies the deformation behavior in single-point incremental forming by experimentally investigating the principal stresses, principal strains, and thinning of single-point incremental forming products. Conical-shaped components are fabricated using AA1050-H14 aluminum alloy at various combinations of fundamental variables. The factorial design is employed to plan the experimental study and analysis of variance is conducted to analyze the results. The grey relational analysis approach coupled with entropy weights is also implemented to identify optimum process variables for single-point incremental forming. The results show that the tool diameter has the greatest effect on the thinning of the SPIF product, followed by the sheet thickness, step size, and feed rate.

Asymmetric incremental sheet forming (AISF) is a relatively new manufacturing process for the production of low volumes of sheet metal parts. Forming is accomplished by the CNC controlled movements of a simple ball-headed tool that follows a 3D trajectory to gradually shape the sheet metal blank. Due to the local plastic deformation under the tool, there is almost no draw-in from the flange region to avoid thinning in the forming zone. As a consequence, sheet thinning limits the amount of bearable deformation, and thus the range of possible applications. Much attention has been given to the maximum strains that can be attained in AISF. Several authors have found that the forming limits are considerably higher than those obtained using a Nakazima test and that the forming limit curve is approximately a straight line (mostly having a slope of -1) in the stretching region of the FLD. Based on these findings they conclude that the “conventional” forming limit curves cannot be used for AISF and propose dedicated tests to record forming limit diagrams for AISF. Up to now, there is no standardised test and no evaluation procedure for the determination of FLCs for AISF. In the present paper, we start with an analysis of the range of strain states and strain paths that are covered by the various tests that can be found in the literature. This is accomplished by means of on-line deformation measurements using a stereovision system. From these measurements, necking and fracture limits are derived. It is found that the fracture limits can be described consistently by a straight line with negative slope. The necking limits seem to be highly dependent on the test shapes and forming parameters. It is concluded that standardisation in both testing conditions and the evaluation procedures is necessary, and that a forming limit curve does not seem to be an appropriate tool to predict the feasibility of a given part design.
