Abstract
Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a promising flexible forming process in fabricating low-batch or customized sheet metal parts, and has potentials in reduced process lead time and cost, and increased formability. In the plenary talk, recent investigations on ISF fundamentals and the technologies for ISF industrial application will be presented, which cover tool path algorithms, forming tool development, surface roughness and forming load predictions, new variants of ISF, deformation mechanism of different ISF variants, and several industrial application cases. Finally, an outlook about ISF will be made as well.
