- Accuracy behaviour in incremental forming is dependent on the type of features in the part geometry and their interactions with one another. This work is significant as previously, features could be compensated while interactions between features could not be taken into account. A graph theoretic framework was introduced in this work where feature interactions and different toolpath strategies together with their complementarity can be accounted for. This enables manufacture of complex shapes such as the human face with high accuracy. The human face demo was illustrated on industry open days in Leuven and later used by the MEPLAMAT consortium (https://iiw.kuleuven.be/onderzoek/kunststoffen/Meplamat).
