Abstract

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is an emerging flexible forming process, which makes use of CNC milling machine to create complex parts having low volume production rate without using dedicated dies and tooling. A lot of research on this process has been carried out due to its several advantages like customized parts, economical and higher formability as compared to conventional forming process. To make this process more suitable for industry, it is necessary to overcome some of the challenges that is need some serious attention. In this paper, a systematic literature review is presented that studied the quantitative effect of the process parameters on the surface finish. A roadmap for the selection of experimental parameters on this process is proposed which may act as a reference for the researchers.
