Due to constantly increasing ecological concerns and demands for higher performance,
lightweight construction is a key factor to success mainly in the transportation sector but also …

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a very promising technology to manufacture sheet metal
products by the CNC controlled movement of a simple forming tool. Although it is a slow …

Purpose: In this paper the experimental equipment and design of the system for deformation
and forming force measuring by single point incremental sheet metal forming are described …

This paper introduces a finite strain extension of a non-linear visco-plastic material model,
previously proposed by the authors, and its application to the finite element simulation of …

In recent years the traditional sheet metal forming processes, suitable for high volume
batches, do not correctly meet new market requirements characterised by high flexibility …

The demand for small-batch manufacturing processes has increased considerably in recent
years due to the need for personalized and customized products. Single point incremental …

This thesis presents new insights into gaps in the knowledge of conventional spinning and
single point incremental forming (SPIF) processes through numerical modelling of their …

The present work proposes the integration of a incremental forming robotised system with an
optical measurement device (robotised too) formerly developed for quality control purposes …

Development of new technologies and processes for small batch and prototype production
of sheet metal components has a very important role in the recent years. The reason is the …

The need for flexible forming processes is of utmost importance in the recent years.
Therefore, it is very important to develop new innovative technologies and processes. This is …
