This book is based on extensive experimental research from a doctoral thesis coordinated by two of the authors. It details the steps to form parts from aluminum alloy using incremental forming. Key sections include theoretical contributions on simulating the forming process, focusing on deformation distribution, thinning, nodal displacement, and force variation. It also covers experimental contributions on the accuracy, surface quality, specific strain, and thickness of Al 3003 material. The study introduces the innovative integration of processes and characterization procedures, leading to unique findings with significant impact. It represents a multidisciplinary effort at the intersection of material science and manufacturing technology.
