Description
Summary:The dieless NC forming process was developed in Japan as a flexible, alternative manufacturing method to effectively prototype stampings and produce panels in small lot in Japan. It is a numerically controlled incremental forming process that can form various materials into complex shapes. It is extremely cost effective as conventional tooling is not required and lead time is greatly reduced. Currently, incremental forming technology is attracting the attention as an effective method for small lot production and rapid prototyping. This paper introduces the basics of the technology and shows the utilization of this process in industry by AMINO Corporation.
