Abstract
The fabrication of load-adapted parts is one of the main objectives of component lightweight design. In the field of profile manufacturing load adaption is achieved by varying the cross section geometry according to the occurring sevice loads. In this regard, incremental profile forming (IPF) allows the manufacturing of profiles with varying cross section geometries along the center axis of the profile. Due to the incremental character of the procedure, the process flexibility is high. Furthermore, a comparatively high diversity of geometries is typical for IPF, since tool-independent profile cross section geometries are realized.
