Abstract
Incremental sheet forming process has developed the interest of researchers in the field of sheet metal forming due to high formability and capability to produce prototypes of new products at low cost and minimum lead time. Research work is going on in various front to enhance the process capabilities so that it can be explored for commercial production. In this article, progress and recent development in the field of incremental forming has been reviewed and presented for the benefit of practicing engineers and industry. The effect of various process parameters on the performance of the process have been summarized in this paper. Moreover, the issues which need attention are discussed towards the conclusion of this paper.
