Incremental forming and stamping, hybrid forming

Multiscale models, simulation, experimental characterization, artificial intelligence algorithms

Materials: Metals, polymer composites, natural fiber composites

Applications: transportation, health care

Objectives:

  • Re-forming of metals and composites
  • Hybrid forming: additive manufacturing – incremental forming – deep rolling etc.
  • Customizable volume production and shape
  • Personalized geometries
  • Less energy, No tool, Robust and reliable set-up
  • Material re-use
  • Reduce disruptions produced by mining
