Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Earth’s gravity has long dictated how we build, but a University of Florida engineering team is determined to rewrite the rules – by leaving the planet behind altogether. Associate Professor Victoria ...

Sheet metal forming operations can vary greatly in their processes. From simple bending to stretching to deep drawing of complex parts, sheet metal forming operations may take many forms. Image Credit ...

Indian industry leaders advocate for sheet metal cold-roll forming to be recognised under the Green Credit Programme. This low-carbon process reduces waste and energy, aligning with India's climate ...

Forming complex shapes in metal sheets is still a laborious process, especially if you aren’t needing more than a couple parts so stamping doesn’t make sense. That may change with Digital Sheet ...
