Abstract
The prospects of 3D printed plastic tooling in the processing of metal forming are shown. The study of the process of thin sheet, forming of aluminum 3003 ANSI, established that in this process the destruction and plastic deformation of the plastic tool does not occur. Lubrication of plastic matrices and punches were not required, as they have anti-friction properties. Computer simulation of this process in the software system "Simufact.forming" accurately reflects the force parameters, stress-state of plastic tool and the actual course of the process of forming the blank, including the spring-back of the part after forming. Technology of sheet forming with plastic tool can be recommended for single and small batch production.
