Comparative Analysis of Springback Compensation for Various Profiles in Incremental Forming

Incremental forming encounters a common challenge known as the springback effect, wherein the workpiece undergoes elastic deformation and deviates slightly from the desired shape once the forming tool is released. This discrepancy between the intended and obtained shape results in reduced geometric accuracy, making incremental forming less precise compared to conventional methods. This research presents a novel springback effect compensation model for sheet forming processes. The main objective is to evaluate the model's performance across various profiles, with a focus on enhancing precision and accuracy in the formed shapes. The proposed model demonstrates an impressive ability to compensate for approximately 60% of the springback effect, offering a practical solution for offline springback compensation.
