Abstract
An apparatus for forming a nacelle leading edge includes an actuation assembly, a punch, and a die. The punch is in communication with the actuation assembly and annularly disposed about a first axis. The punch is configured to mate with an interior surface of a preform. The die is in communication with the actuation assembly and disposed within the first axis. The die is configured to retain an exterior surface of the preform. The actuation assembly is configured to effect relative motion between the punch and the preform. The actuation assembly is configured to offset the punch so that the punch is annularly disposed about a second axis, different than the first axis.
