Flexibility in metal forming is needed more than ever before due to rapidly changing
customer demands. It paves the way for a better control of uncertainties in development and …

Metal forming processes operate in conditions of uncertainty due to parameter variation and
imperfect understanding. This uncertainty leads to a degradation of product properties from …

Modelling of metal forming processes is an essential task of production engineering. Due to
the latest technological developments, a huge variety of models is already available and …

Incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) has demonstrated its great potential to form complex
three-dimensional parts without using a component specific tooling. The die-less nature in …

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a highly versatile and flexible process for rapid
manufacturing of complex sheet metal parts. Although tool path plays an important role in …

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is plagued by an unavoidable and unintended
bending in the region of the sheet between the current tool position and the fixture. The …

Electrically-assisted incremental sheet forming (E-ISF) is an effective method to improve
formability by introducing the electric current in ISF process. This method is particularly …

Limited geometric accuracy in incremental sheet forming is a major obstacle for its wide
adoption in industry. This paper develops a generic methodology, suitable for arbitrary part …
