TL;DR: In this paper, an experimentally explored multi-step toolpath strategy is reported and the resulting part geometries compared to simulation output is verified and contribute to better understanding of the material relocation mechanism underlying the enlarged process window.

TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of finite element simulations in predicting the tool force occurring during the single point incremental forming (SPIF) process was studied with two finite element (FE) codes and several constitutive laws (an elasticplastic law coupled with various hardening models).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the straining behavior in the Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) variant, both on experimental basis using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and on numerical basis by the Finite Element (FE) method.

TL;DR: Flores, P., Rondia, E., Habraken, A.M., 2005a. as discussed by the authors investigated the material behavior with the help of classical tensile tests and the ones performed in his bi-axial machine in order to identify the yield locus and the hardening model.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-step approach for single point incremental forming was proposed and experiments were performed and compared with simulations to better understand the phenomena underlying the improved process performance, and the multi-stage approach was compared with simulation to understand the underlying process performance.
