ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on viable applications of the ISF process including medical, automotive, dies and molds, aerospace, architecture, prototyping and transportation applications. As Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) has been developed over the years, various applications have been documented in the literature. Cooper et al. concluded that the breakeven point of the ISF process can be only a hundred parts as it avoids the manufacturing of dedicated dies that can save energy per part under consideration. The various challenges and issues that limit the applications of this process have also been discussed in this chapter. Sandwich panels also find their applications as automotive components like dash panels and inner wheel housing. In architectural applications, the requirement of higher wall angles for a freeform shape is one of the key issues that occurs during the ISF process. The applications of the ISF process are very wide including the aerospace, automotive, architecture, medical and prototyping fields.
