Abstract
Incremental sheet forming process (ISFP) is an innovative forming process that can be performed on CNC machines to produce complex 3D sheet metal parts without using a dedicated punch and dies. The sheet is deformed locally and finished in every layer. In the present work, experimental investigations effect of various process parameters viz. incremental depth step, wall angle, forming speed (feed), forming height and tool diameter on the forming time and forming accuracy were investigated. Taguchi-based experimental study was planned. During experimentation, two replication per combination; by randomizing the experimental run; have been performed by keeping in mind an economic consideration without affecting the sensitivity of the experiment. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to know the level of significance of the process parameters on forming time and forming accuracy. In order to determine whether process parameters are interacting or not, interaction graphs were also plotted. Reported results in the present work explore various aspects of ISFP and give insight into the further development of ISF technology.
