The mini deep drawing is a cold forming process applied in order to realize small parts having dimensions smaller than 20 mm. In the case of such process the small thickness of sheet and the small dimensions of parts are the most important factors that influence the process parameters and can affect the accuracy and quality of the produced mini - parts. A proper clearance between the working tools components is also a very important factor that can permit to obtain mini drawn parts in accordance with their theoretical profile. The present paper analyses the results of investigations made by experiment and simulation concerning the influence of tool clearances values on the accuracy of dimensions in the case of mini scale cylindrical drawn cups made from thin sheets. The deviations from the cups theoretical profile (wall inclination, variation of part diameter) that can occur during deep drawing of such sheets were especially analyzed in the paper.

Deep drawing is one of the most important processes for forming sheet metal parts. Besides its importance as a forming process, cup drawing also serves as a basic test for the sheet metal formability. This article investigates the influence of the die punch clearance, the average velocity in the active stage and the lubrication on the deep drawing quality expressed by the thickness evenness on the finished product surface. In order to minimize the number of experimental trials, a fractional factorial design was developed together with an orthogonal array, thus analyzing the contribution of the three parameters under study to the quality of the deep drawing process. Using TAGUCHI’s signal-to-noise ratio, we determine that ram velocity has a major influence, followed by the clearance between the active elements, while the contribution of lubrication is negligible. The results of the research are useful in developing a sensible design of experiments.

In this paper the drawing process of Box-torque was simulated by Dynaform, which is FEM simulation software. The process parameters, which affected the quality of forming, were optimized by finite element simulation. The emphasis was focus on the optimization of draw-bead and BHF and data were summarized from the optimization graphs. In this simulation, lengthways draw-bead was set on the technical face for reducing or eliminating wrinkle. It was innovation difference from the usual that the draw-bead was set on binder. Finally the correctness of simulation was approved by comparing the optimization of simulation with the data of experimentation.

Forming Mechanism

Ship hull structures are fabricated by curved thick plates before they are welded together. There are traditional methods such as, line heating and laser-forming methods for plate bending. However, it is recognized that the hot-forming technology causes a series of troubles on doubly or multiple curved plates. Multi-point forming mechanism with square press heads is a new forming process for three-dimensional ship hull plate. Cold-forming has a high dimensional accuracy but results in spring-back. The spring-back process of curved thick plates in the finite element method is analyzed and the predicted results are compared with the test results in the present paper. To ensure the forming precision, the successive approximation method is also developed and verified to control the spring-back.

Deposition Modeling

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the emerging rapid prototyping (RP) processes in additive manufacturing. FDM fabricates the quality prototype directly from the CAD data and is dependent on the various process parameters, hence optimization is essential. In the present chapter, process parameters of FDM process are analyzed using an integrated MCDM approach. The integrated MCDM approach consists of modified fuzzy with ANP methods. Experimentation is performed considering three process parameters, namely layer height, shell thickness, and fill density, and corresponding response parameters, namely ultimate tensile strength, dimensional accuracy, and manufacturing time are determined. Thereafter, optimization of FDM process parameters is done using proposed method. The result shows that exp.no-4 yields the optimal process parameters for FDM and provides optimal parameters as layer height of 0.08 mm, shell thickness of 2.0 mm and fill density of 100%. Also, optimal setting provides higher ultimate TS, good DA, and lesser MT as well as improving the performance and efficiency of FDM.

The focus of forming high-strength steel at elevated temperature is to improve its forming properties like elongation and to reduce the power requirements during the forming process in opposite to cold forming. Because of the undefined and large spring-back effects parts made by cold forming are not able to achieve the demanded dimensional accuracy, which is necessary for laser welding operations in car body assembly. The reduction of the spring-back behavior is another advantage of the temperature controlled forming technology. On the other side the forming at elevated temperatures requires increased costs for forming tools and tempering equipment. For a fundamental evaluation of this technology, expenditures for the complete process chain have to be considered.

Pattenless Casting Manufacturing (PCM) technique is a kind of Rapid Prototyping based on droplet injection, using discrete nozzle to jet the catalyst. The quality of scanning lines has the most important effect on the sand strength, its surface quality and dimensional accuracy. The penetration and curing rules of the catalyst in the resined-sand particles are the main factors to determine the shape of the scanning lines.

The important parameters of the forming process are determined based on the research and experimental results. It will provide the foundation to improve the forming quality of PCM technique.

The plastic sheet forming technique is simple and easy to realize, that is why, it is widely used for packaging commodities. Similarly, in In-Mold-Decoration (IMD) molding technology, due to the complex geometry of the membrane and the high requirement of the dimensional accuracy, geometric design and molding technique for the product should be focused on controlling the thickness distribution of shell or membrance plastic products in order to achieve high precision manufacturing. This paper started with analyzing the performance data of the plastic sheet molding material, using nonlinear finite element method and multi-physics coupling method to simulate the plastic sheet forming process, and the result gives the required parameters for product design and quality control. For the thickness deviation, the experimental testing shows that the maximum discrepancy between the simulation and actual result is less than15%. The research proved that computer simulation can contribute to control the inhomogeneity of the shell or membrane so as to improve the design and the quality of manufacturing.
