TL;DR: An overview of the body of knowledge with respect to Single Point Incremental Forming is provided to provide an up-to-date state-of-the-art review with corresponding conclusions on scientific progress and outlook on expected further developments.

TL;DR: In this article, the laser assisted single point incremental forming process and its potential for improving accuracy are investigated by means of both finite element analysis and an experimental campaign on a conical geometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the challenges associated with the manufacture of cranio-facial implants with extreme forming angles using medical grade titanium sheets, using intelligent intermediate part design, feature analysis and compensation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-slope single point incremental forming (SPIF) pyramid with two different depths is studied, and the shape deviations come from elastic strains due to structural elastic bending, plus a minor contribution of localized springback.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of asymmetric, cumulative, extended strain effects, resulting in severe thinning, and reinforced when stiff, semi-vertical rib features are present in the part geometry, is demonstrated by means of a detailed deformation analysis.
