Formarea incrementală a tablei câștigă importanță în industriile auto (Governale et al. 2007), aerospațială (Jeswiet și colab. 2005a) și biomedicală (Ambrogio et al. 2005c) și chiar pentru prelucrarea panourilor reciclabile (Jackson et al. 2007; Takano et al. 2008) și producerea rapidă a matrițelor/șabloanelor folosind suprafețe complexe de tablă produse prin formare incrementală cu costuri foarte mici (Allwood et al. 2006). Acuratețea componentei în timpul formării incrementale a tablei este afectată de îndoirea tablei între limita prinsă și deschiderea componentei, de revenire elastică locală continuă care are loc de îndată ce scula se îndepărtează de un punct și de revenirea elastică globală care are loc după retragerea și deblocarea componentei. Prezicerea revenirii elastice prin intermediul analizei numerice și compensarea acesteia în timpul generării traseului sculei este un proces care consumă mult timp din cauza naturii procesului. Dezvoltarea DSIF a sporit complexitatea produsului pentru a forma piese cu curbură dublă pe ambele părți ale planului inițial al foii, fără setări suplimentare, cu o acuratețe mai bună decât alte configurații de formare incrementală.
Incremental sheet metal forming is gaining importance in automobile (Governale et al. 2007), aerospace (Jeswiet et al. 2005a), and biomedical industries (Ambrogio et al. 2005c) and even for processing recycling panels (Jackson et al. 2007; Takano et al. 2008) and producing dies/molds quickly using complex sheet metal surfaces produced by incremental forming at very less expense (Allwood et al. 2006). Accuracy of the component during incremental sheet metal forming is affected by bending of sheet between the clamped boundary and component opening, continuous local springback that occurs as soon as tool moves away from a point, and global springback that occurs after the tool retraction and unclamping of the component. Predicting springback using numerical analysis and compensating for the same during tool path generation is a time-consuming process due to the nature of process. Development of DSIF enhanced the product complexity to form parts with double curvature on both sides of the initial sheet plane without any additional setups with better accuracy than other incremental forming configurations.
