Sheet metal forming is a demanding technology in aerospace, automotive, marine, and nuclear sectors. In the conventional forming technique, the dies and punches have been made based upon the size, the shape of sheet metal product to be obtained and their suitability for mass production. The cost of dies and punches is a capital investment, and that can be shared with a number of formed products. In this context, the single point incremental forming (SPIF) techniques have received great attention due to the advantages over the conventional processes such as higher formability, lower forces, production flexibility, rapid prototyping and cost reduction, etc. However, this technology has few limitations with processing time and uniformity in the thickness distribution. The agenda of the present book to understand the process mechanics of SPIF so that production engineer can minimise the overall cost of production and maximise the production efficiency. This study would be much beneficial to a forming industry, particularly research and development phase where cost and time reduction is a major objective.
