Abstract
A method and apparatus for passive pin positioning of a reconfigurable forming die is disclosed. The apparatus may include a plurality of pins disposed within a frame, and a bolt that when tightened can secure or lock the pins into position. When the bolt is loosened, the position of the pins can be adjusted. A preliminary model of a contoured surface that is to be imparted to an article by the reconfigurable forming die can be used to help define a forming surface of the reconfigurable die.
