Abstract
INCREMENTAL FOR MING PROVIDES SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER FLEXIBILITY OF FORMING IN COMPARISON TO CONVENTIONAL FORMING PROCESSES. SINGLE POINT INCREMENTAL FORMING (SPIF) REPRESENTS THE MOST SIMPLE FORM OF INCREMENTAL FORMING, WHERE FORMING OF THE SHEET METAL IS EN ABLED USING A W IDE VARIETY OF TOOLS. THE MAIN DISADVANTAGE OF INCREMENTAL FORMING IS LOWER ACCURACY OF FORMING COMPARED TO OTHER CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES. THE AIM OF MANY STUDIES IN THE PAST REGARDING INCREMENTAL FORMING WAS TO INCREASE THE ACCURACY, REDUCE FORMING FORCES AND IMPROVE THE FORMABILITY OF THE SHEET METAL. THIS ARTICLE COVERS SUMMARIES OF STUDIES REGARDING INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO IMPROVE ALL OF THE ABOVE -MENTIONED ASPECTS OF INCREMENTAL FORMING. IT ALSO ATTEMPTS TO PRESENT THE MAIN PARAMETERS OF INCREMENTAL FORMING AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FORMED PRODUCT. IT IS ALSO DISCUSSED, WHY THE FORMABILITY IN INCREMENTAL FORMING IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF CONVENTIONAL FORMING PROCESSES, SUCH AS STAMPING. A NUMBER OF OTHER INCREMENTAL FORMING APPROACHES AND THEIR MAIN CHARACTERISTICS ARE PRESENTED, AS ARE AREAS OF INCREMENTAL FORMING IN TODAY’S INDUSTRY AND AREAS OF POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT IN THE FUTURE.
