Abstract
The present invention relates, in general, to sheet material forming technology and the forming of structures there from. The invention relates to incremental forming of sheet material () with localised heating () and more particularly to a system and method for incrementally forming a sheet blank () that is at the same time heated by a dynamically moving heating source (). This dynamic and localised heating locally changes the mechanical properties of the sheet material (), thus facilitating the forming process.
