Abstract
Incremental sheet metal forming processes have a high potential for flexible and cost efficient production of prototypes and parts in small lot sizes. Recent developments in this field bring incremental sheet metal forming one step closer to industrial application. Amongst these are improvements concerning geometrical accuracy, part complexity and surface quality. Also solutions for forming of advanced materials as magnesium or titanium alloys are being developed, which shows a high potential for the production of lightweight sheet metal parts, as used in aerospace industry.
