Abstract
- Incremental sheet forming (ISF) has gained much attention in the low volume production and rapid prototyping fields due to its inherent flexibility, low-overhead cost, and die-less nature. However, the geometric inaccuracy of the final achievable parts hinders this process from becoming commercially viable. One of the major sources of geometric inaccuracy is springback, which predominately occurs when the formed sheet metal is unloaded by the forming tools and released from the clamps. This paper focuses on the latter case. A practical annealing method that does not rely on complicated setups and geometry-specific compensation algorithms is proposed to reduce the springback that occurs after the unclamping process. Two clamping devices were developed, which have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the amount of springback. The capability of reducing springback by the proposed method and its potential of integrating it with other geometric accuracy improvement methods will enhance the ISF process towards future industrial applications.
