Incremental forming-CAE/CAM approaches and results

Abstract

Metal forming is one of the most important group of manufacturing technologies used in many branches of machine-building industry. The Metal Forming Research Centre (MFRC) at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu acts as both research and technology transfer facility, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical research and industrial implementation in this field. The paper presents the results obtained during the last years by the research team of MFRC in the study of incremental forminga promising process of dieless forming, with a high flexibility and great potential for industrial implementation.
