Abstract

It is well known that Incremental Sheet Forming has two main drawbacks, i.e. accuracy and slowness. The former has been studied and partially solved by several researchers while the latter did not receive convincing answers. Thus, the idea of several research groups is that the process applicability is suggested only for rapid manufacturing or small batch production. The lack of knowledge is certainly caused by the available machines, like milling or Amino, which are typically used for incremental forming operations. In the present research the attention was focalized on the above limit: An experimental campaign was performed in order to evaluate the process feasibility at very high speed. To do that a lathe machine has been used instead of the conventional milling one, increasing the process speed up to two order of magnitude. An aluminum alloy, widely used in the mechanical fields, has been chosen as sample material and an experimental investigation has been aimed at determining the influence of tool speed on the material behavior.
