Abstract
Novel systems and methods for an incremental forming process to manufacture a product are disclosed herein. The system and method generally involves continuously modifying the toolpath in real-time based upon the forming force of the forming tool compared to a predicted springback error established offline from a series of simplified simulations. The system and method disclosed herein are effective to form products with complex geometries and minimizes the costs and time requirements associated with prior art techniques.
