Two Point Incremental Forming technology (TPIF) is one forming method of incremental sheet forming technology (ISF) which is an innovation sheet forming process with potential advantages such as simplicity, less-time consumption, and high flexibility. This technology using a hemispherical-end tool under CNC movement deforms a metal sheet which is fixed on simple frame. The sheet metal clamped between movable plate and clamp plate, under the metal sheet has a support die which is fixed on bottom plate. The lower plate is firmly positioned on the CNC machine table in while upper plate (included sheet material, movable plate and clamp plate) is able to move easily up and down along guide bars. The sheet material is plastically deformed layer by layer until final-shape product by CNC tool path. This technology is very suit for the rapid prototyping process and the low batch production. In this research, formability of the TPIF process due to operating parameters was investigated with aluminum sheet at room temperature. Four operating parameters such as depth step, feed rate, tool diameter, and spindle speed, was considered their effects on the formability of TPIF process through DOE strategy. The forming results showed that TPIF process for metal sheet material at room temperature has potential applicability in the metal sheet-product manufacturing.

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a flexible sheet metal forming process to realize products within short time from design to the first produced part. Although fundamental research on ISF has been carried out around the world, ISF still misses commonly required tolerances for industrial application. In this study, the influences of tool path as well as intrusion depth of the forming tool into the sheet material on the geometrical accuracy were investigated. In the conducted experiments, both flat and stretch-formed sheet metal blanks with different tool paths and intrusion depths were examined. Experimental and numerical investigations showed that changes in the range of a tenth millimeter of the intrusion depth with a consistent tool path lead to different resulting part geometries. A better understanding of the sensitive influence of the tool path and the intrusion depth on the resulting geometry might lead to more accurate parts in the future.

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming

The incremental sheet metal forming technology is a flexible forming technology without dedicated forming dies. The locus of the forming tool can be adjusted by correcting the numerical model of the product. The effect of forming half-apex angle on forming process with all kind of sheet material, sheet thickness and ironing ratio is researched. The limit half-apex angle is different for all kind of sheet material and thickness. The limit half-apex angle is smaller for the larger thickness of sheet metal. It will succeed in square conical box incremental forming in a single tool-path if the forming is carried out with an angle which is larger than the forming limit half-apex angle θ. The ironing ratio ψt is decided by the forming half-apex angle θ. The ironing ratio ψt varies with θ. The ironing ratio ψt is smaller when is larger.

ncremental sheet forming (ISF) is a new promising technology due to its flexibility and low-cost tooling properties compared with conventional forming processes. However, it is only suitable for small-batch production because of its incremental feature inducing relative long forming time. Presently, widespread usage of the process is restricted by a lack of predictive understanding of the process due to its complexity. In this paper, the aspect of forming time is studied by investigating the effects of four distinctive process parameters (step over, feed rate, sheet thickness and tool diameter). An effective analysis tool, Taguchi method together with design of experiment (DOE) and analysis of variance (ANVOA) is utilized to study the effects of the four process parameters on forming time and further to optimize parameter combinations in order to minimize forming time. Using these techniques, experimental results show that the step over of spiral tool path is the most important process parameter affecting forming time followed by feed rate. Sheet thickness and tool diameter have little effect on forming time. The comparison between the prediction of optimized parameter combination and the confirmation test result has further demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is worth noting that the results of this study will indicate a further direction on how to optimize process parameters to find a balance between forming efficiency (forming time) and forming quality (forming accuracy and surface roughness).

Based on analyzing the existing algorithms, a novel tool path generation of 2D contour considering stock boundary is presented. Firstly the boundary points of stock are obtained by three-dimensional measuring machine. And the boundary curve is constructed by method of features identifying. The stock boundary is offset toward outside with tool diameter. An enclosed region is formed between the contour curves and the offset curves of stock boundary. The tool path is generated by form of parallel spiral by offsetting the stock boundary in the enclosed region. Finally the validity of present method is demonstrated by an example.

In this article, a new method for rapid tool movement in CNC machines is presented. Firstly, a single digital camera, installed on the Z-axis, captures the image of the workpiece on the work table. Image processing techniques, implemented using MATLAB, are then used to convert the image into a binary black and white image. This allows the locations of protruding edge sections on the workpiece, which could impede tool movement, to be identified. Quadtree decomposition is then performed on the binary image, and possible paths from the tool current location to its target location are found. These paths are then analysed based on the tool diameter clearance and the distance to the goal, and the shortest path with sufficient tool clearance is selected. A Visual Basic program then converts the selected path into G-code commands that provides instructions to the CNC machine tool such that this path is followed. With this method, the workpiece fixture location would not have to be precise as the imaging system would be able to automatically identify the target location with respect to the tool current location, along with the optimal path to reach it.

Generally, many high-strength alloy materials used in aerospace, power and chemical industries have strength differential effect in tension and compression (SD effects). Usually, in mechanical calculations of sheet metal forming, Treasca yield criterion and Mises yield criterion are applied. Because the yield criterions don’t take SD effects into consideration, the calculation result may have errors for certain materials. However, generalized twin shear stress yield criterion, which takes into account the influence of the intermediate principal stress, is more suitable for most metal materials than Mohr-Coulomb strength theory. Therefore, this article has made plastic analysis on thin film stress issues of metal sheet forming with generalized twin shear stress yield criterion. We have obtained a unified plastic solution to the internal and external stretching issue of thin material with rounded holes and different tension and compression ratio. Providing a new result with wider applicability is very significant.

The deformation machining process (DMP) involves machining and incremental forming of thin structures. It can be applied for manufacturing products such as curved-surface blades without using 5-axis computerised numerical control machines. This work presents the effect of tool diameter and forming temperature on spring-back and dimensional accuracy of a simple fabricated part. The results of the first phase of the study are utilised to design the fabrication process of a curved surface blade. A feature-based algorithm is used to design the tool path for the forming process. The dimensional accuracy of the final product is improved through warm forming, two-point incremental forming, and extension of the bending zone to the outside of the product edges. The results show that DMP can be used to fabricate complex curved-surface workpieces with acceptable dimensional accuracy.

Incremental sheet metal forming, is a non-conventional machining process which offers higher formability, flexibility and low cost of production than the traditional conventional forming process. Punch or tool used in this forming process consecutively forces the sheet to deform locally and ultimately gives the target profile. Various machining parameters, such as type of tool, tool path, tool size, feed rate and mechanical properties of sheet metal, like strength co-efficient, strain hardening index and ultimate tensile strength, effects the forming process and the formability of final product. In this research paper, Single Point Incremental Forming was simulated using Dassault system’s Abaqus 6.12-1 and results are obtained. Results of sheet profile and there change in thickness is investigated. For this paper, we simulated the process in abaqus. The tool diameter and rotational speed is find out for the production of parts through incremental forming. The simulation is done for two type of material with different mechanical properties. Various research papers were used to understand the process of incremental forming and its simulation.

Strain Relation

The stress-strain relation for austenitic stainless steels is based on 2 main contributions: work hardening and a phase transformation from austenite to martensite. The transformation is highly temperature dependent. In most models for phase transformation from austenite to martensite, the stress triaxiality plays an important role also. The sensitivity to triaxiality is often investigated based on uniaxial compression and tensile tests. To validate the common formulation for triaxiality dependence of the martensitic transformation, a series of experiments is performed with the Twente biaxial tester for sheet material. A number of deformation directions are prescribed between plane strain and simple shear. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed at different temperatures to get a temperature corrected reference curve for the martensite–strain relation. The current results for typical stress states in sheet forming do not show the dependency on the triaxiality that is given in literature. This means that for sheet forming simulations, changes in stress state affects the martensitic transformation less than expected from tension–compression experiments.
