A GAD/CAM System for Integrated Process of CNC Incremental Forming and 5-Axis Laser Cutting

摘要

The sheet metal forming is widely used in aerospace, automobile and shipbuilding industry. CNC incremental forming is a kind of recently developed flexible and dieless forming technology. This paper introduced an integrated process of CNC incremental forming and 5-axis laser cutting based on machining features, and the structure of related special CAD/CAM system as well as its development methods.
