Abstract:

In the present production process Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) is a modern malleable forming practice which enables the process of forming with the help of a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Vertical Milling Machine (VMC). ISF is used with good malleability for conventional milling machines with the less intricate tool and die to make the machining process as much as cost-effective and also make it to automation. This research study aims to provide a solution towards the various ambiguities existing in the ISF process regarding the formability of the part formed with respect to the different operating parameters and materials. With the help of a specially fabricated tool and fixture system, the forming is carried out and compared the formability of metals and polymers. From the final results, it was observed that a more uniform thickness distribution effect is observed in the case of polymers considered, both the metallic sheets were observed to be followed a similar pattern to that of cosine law, and the least percentage of thinning is observed in the case of Polycarbonate and a higher percentage of thinning in the case of brass and there is no relation is observed between the forming angle and the thinning percentage.
