Possibilities of application of incremental sheet-forming technique in aircraft industry

Abstract

The article includes the characteristics of increme ntal forming of the sheet using the following two methods: Single Point Incremental For ming and Two Point Incremental Forming. The factors influencing the possibi lity of method application and the phenomena that limit the use of incremental for ming of the sheet are presented. Based on the conducted experimental test, the disadv antages and advantages of single point incremental forming are specified. Possib ilities for the use of the presented incremental forming technique for manufacturing ele ments in the aircraft industry are also included.
