Abstract
Conventional sheet metal forming processes require dedicated tooling and expensive dies to produce sheet metal components which make the processes time-consuming, uneconomical and inappropriate for batch type production. Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) has been confirmed as quiet economical process for rapid prototyping and batch type production. SPIF applicability can be ensured on industrial scale when appropriate guidelines are highlighted regarding relation between input parameters and forming force induced in the process. This paper focuses on investigating the influence of step size, tool diameter, and spindle speed on axial peak forces on AA2024-O sheets. Forming forces has been recorded by using a dynamometer and data logger system equipped with Microscada software. Combination of larger tool diameter and larger step size resulted in higher forming forces which becomes limitation of the hardware used in the process.
