The Revolution

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is really a new technology of forming metal sheet nowadays and in recent decades. Although it was invented in, 1967 by Lezak, an American inventor, but the applications of the innovative technology were broad from 1990 because of the advance of controlling technology. This technology is especially adapted to small batch, unique or single productions. There are many forming parameters that influence to the formability of the metal sheet workpiece such as diameter of tool, the revolution per minute of the tool tip, the vertical feed rate after each orbit, the velocity of tool in horizontal plane…. Among of them, in our own experiences, we recognize that in almost all cases, the revolution per minute of the forming tool when forming ferric material sheet such as mild steel, stainless steel, hard steels… should be as small as possible to get the biggest ability of deformation of the workpiece sheet to get rid of failure on the lateral edge of the sheet. The tangential velocity of forming point on the spherical tool tip should be selected to attain the situation of rolling but no sliding of the surface of the spherical tool on the one of the sheet material. The paper recommends a new version of a forming tool in which the tip of the tool is a very hard ball (such as the quenched ball in a ball bearing) that is freely rotate by the friction to modify the contact point on the spherical surface of the tool to avoid the abrading and keep the spherical shape and the situation of rotating but no sliding on the surface of the workpiece sheet as mentioned above. The manufacture of the innovative forming tool is performed and then empirical processes verified it. The models formed by the typical tool are better in comparison with the ones of normal forming tool.

As there is no sufficient support between the single moving tool and fixture, the formed metal sheet is easy to bend in single point incremental forming (SPIF). Double sided incremental forming (DSIF) is proposed in which two tools are used on each side of the sheet to improve the components forming accuracy. Element finite method is introduced to simulate the forming process with both DSIF and SPIF toolpaths and the component geometric accuracies are compared. The simulation result shows the DSIF toolpaths can obtain better geometric accuracy than SPIF.

The Single Point Incremental Forming Process (SPIF) is a forming technique of sheet material based on layered manufacturing principles. The forming tool is moved along the tool path while the edges of sheet material are clamped. The finished part is manufactured by the CNC machine. SPIF involves extensive plastic deformation and the description of the process is more complicated by highly nonlinear boundary conditions, namely contact and frictional effects have been accomplished. However, due to the complex nature of these models, numerical approaches dominated by the FEA are now in widespread use. The paper presents the data and main results of a study on effect of using cover blank in SPIF through FEA. The considered SPIF has been studied under certain process conditions referring to the test work piece, tool, etc., applying ANSYS 11.0. The results show that the simulation model can predict an ideal profile of processing track, spring back error of SPIF, the behavior of contact tool-work piece, the product accuracy by evaluation its thickness and strain distributions, the contact status and chattering among surface interface tool-work piece.

Effects of polyvinylchloride (PVC) sheet thickness (t), feed speed (υ), spindle speed (ω), Z-axis feed rate (p) and tool head diameter (Φ) as well as their interactions during the single point incremental forming (SPIF) on forming performance of the PVC sheet material were studied through an orthogonal experimental test. In this experiment, the angle-variable cone was used and the maximum forming limiting angle was taken as the experimental index. Results showed that and ω×Φ influence forming performance of PVC sheet material significantly. υ is the main influencing factor of SPIF performance of PVC sheet material. Small υ is good for sheet material forming. p and Φ are proportional to forming performance of sheet material. Over ω will cause material wear-out. Effect of t could be neglected.

The Single Point Incremental Forming Process, SPIF, is a forming technique of sheet material based on layered manufacturing principles. The forming tool is moved along the tool path while the edges of sheet material are clamped on fixture by holder. The finished part is performed by the CNC milling machine. The description of the process is more complicated by highly nonlinear boundary conditions, namely contact and frictional effects have been accomplished. Due to the fact that the mathematical analysis of SPIF is complex, numerical approaches dominated by the FEA are now in widespread use. The paper presents the data and main results of a study concerning the effect of forming tool profile on SPIF through FEA, that permits the modeling of complex geometries, material behavior and boundary conditions. SPIF has been studied under certain process conditions referring to the test workpiece, tool, etc., using ANSYS 11.0. The results showed that the model of simulation can predict an ideal profile of processing track, spring back error of SPIF, the behavior of contact tool - workpiece, the accuracy of product by evaluation the strain and the stress distributions between forming tool and workpiece surface interface, and sample of results have been demonstrated.

Forming Process

The strategy in manufacturing hardened parts used in car bodies is to tailor the mechanical properties. This is done by combining together a high-strength region and a high-toughness region to ensure the crash performance required. Other successive secondary operations such as trimming, joining and welding can be improved as a result of the tailoring process. In this work, the mechanical properties of 22MnB5 alloy sheet material produced by single-point incremental forming have been tailored. For this purpose, the sheets were locally heated by induction during the forming process and subsequently cooled. The sheet temperature was controlled by the CNC milling machine feed rate and induction power. As a result, the produced tailored parts consist of three different regions: ductile, transition and hardened regions. The Vickers hardness values were 583 HV1 and 175 HV1 for the hardened and ductile regions, respectively. The proposed application allows forming and quenching at the same time without transfer and to reduce the process time.

Nowadays Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is really a new technology of forming metal sheet after its formation and long development in about five decades. Although it was invented in, 1967 by Leszak, an American inventor, but the applications of the innovative technology have just been popular from 1990 because of the advance of controlling technology. This technology is especially adapted to small batch, unique or single productions. In almost all cases, the workpiece material sheets are metal such as aluminum alloys, bronze, mild steel, stainless steel and even Titanium with lot of researches, papers and thesis... Nonmetal sheets are rarely applied in this technology because of rare application. Nowadays, on the rise of the development of composite materials such as, PVC, thermoplastic resins... that have been a lot of applications on living life and technology. In this paper, we dedicate all of our work in the examination some parameters of forming that influence on the deformable ability of PVC plastic by empirical method under the support of DOE and Minitab software. This paper also provides our own experiences in forming PVC sheet that we had performed in the recent decade.

Surface Variability

Incremental forming (IF) is a sheet material forming method which utilizes a hemispherically tipped tool to form material. The tool is typically CNC controlled along a path which outlines the contours of the final geometry. The most common toolpaths used during forming are the spiral and step-down paths. Few variations of these toolpaths currently exist. A novel toolpathing strategy is proposed herein. This toolpath forms a wave-like path in order to mimic the effects of vibration-assisted tooling; however, with much greater control. A variation of this strategy in which the tool does not lose contact with the surface of the part throughout its path was tested. This method has been found to be an effective approach for improving the surface variability of the final part.
