- Multi-step mesh morphing involves generating intermediate shapes between a flat sheet and a final part shape. Tool paths are necessary in the single point incremental forming process to deform the flat sheet into these intermediate shapes and the final part shape. These tool paths may be generated for individual features on the part geometry and hence, need systematic sequencing. This paper is significant as it results in optimized tool paths for incremental forming that prevent early part failure as well as improve the accuracy of formed parts to within a millimetre. Used by the MEPLAMAT consortium (https://iiw.kuleuven.be/onderzoek/kunststoffen/Meplamat) for vacuum-formed parts.
