Abstract
En 中文
Incremental sheet metal forming can manufacture various sheet metal products without a dedicated punch and die set. In this study, we developed a two-stage incremental forming process to decrease shape errors in the conventional incremental forming process. The forming process was classified into the first single point incremental forming (1st SPIF) process for forming a product and the counter single point incremental forming (counter SPIF) process to decrease shape error. The counter SPIF gives bending deformation in the opposite direction. Furthermore, the counter SPIF compensates for shape errors, such as section deflection, skirt spring-back, final forming height, and round. The tool path of the counter SPIF has been optimized through a relatively simple optimization method by modifying the tool path of the previous step. The tool path of the 1st SPIF depends on the geometry of the product. An experiment was performed to form a circular cup shape to verify the proposed tool path of the 1st and counter SPIF. The result confirmed that the shape error decreased when compared to the conventional SPIF. For the application, the ship-hull geometry was adopted. Experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of the two-stage incremental forming process.
