摘要
A new type of incremental bending process for complicated curved sheet metal is proposed in the paper. The blank sheet is bended incrementally step by step. To validate the forming process, an incremental bending prototype is designed and manufactured, which was composed of a 3-DOF working table, a flexible supporting system and a 3D scanning system. The forming trajectory based on the theory of the minimum energy is planned according to the designed model of the sheet metal. Several experiments are carried out and the designed part is manufactured, which validated the proposed incremental forming method was successful.
