ABSTRACT: This paper introduced the fundamentals of the sheet metal digital forming process. Sheet metal
digital forming process is a new dieless forming process. This process resolves the intricate three-dimensional
geometry information of the workpiece into a series of two-dimensional data, which can be used by an NC
system to control a forming tool to make a curvilinear movement over the raw sheet metal layer by layer until the
desired component is formed. An FEM ...
