Incremental sheet metal forming

Type of machine: VPC 2800 U

Task:

Incremental sheet metal forming for a body component

Solution:

  • Use of portal machining centre VPC 2800 U
  • A wood-based material is used as the counter-tool for the body component. The sheet metal to be processed is clamped in a frame over this tool. The final shape is generated through multiple successive movements of a CNC-controlled forming tool.
 

Special features:

  • Minimal tooling costs and therefore cost efficiency from a batch size of one
  • Production of sheet metal components with complex geometries in the shortest possible time
