Manufacturability and limitations in incremental sheet forming

In the actual incremental sheet forming process two kinds of risks can be outlined: material failure and tool failure. From the point of view of safe manufacturing, both risks should be minimized. The aim of the current study is to predict material and tool failure. An experimental, numerical and theoretical study is performed in order to determine the material formability and the forming load components. Incremental sheet forming strategies for determining the forming limit diagram are pointed out.
