Incremental sheet metal forming (ISF) processes are part of a set of non-classical techniques that allow producing small-batches, customized and/or specific geometries for advanced engineering applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical parts. Combined or not with other joining processes and additive manufacturing techniques, ISF processes permit rapid prototyping frameworks and can be included in the class of smart manufacturing processes.
This chapter discusses the fundamentals of ISF technology, key attributes, future challenges, and presents a few examples related to the use of incremental forming for the development of complex parts as specifically found in aerospace applications such as airfoils. The use of incremental forming to produce customized designs and to perform quick tryouts of ready-to-use parts contributes to decreasing the time to market, decreasing tooling cost and increasing part design freedom.
