Popis: Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a die-less sheet metal forming process which can be easily performed with a numerical control machine and part program. ISF includes following application such as aerospace industries, biomedical, automotive industry and prototypes. It has received increasing concentration from the engineering society due to its flexibility and low cost. This study involves experimentation of Ti-6Al-4V sheets using Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) and understanding the effect of feed rate (f), incremental depth (d) and tool rotational speed (s) to the forming force. The process is performed by CNC Milling Machine with a help of hemispherical end tool and a simple fixture. The Response Surface Methodology was used for the experimentation and ANOVA was carried out to find the input parameter which affects the process significantly. Incremental depth was found to the important parameter which affects the forming force. Further, the input parameters were optimized to obtain minimum forming force.
