Abstract
This paper explains and compares two different robot assisted incremental forming processes: robot assisted incremental forming by pressing and robot assisted incremental hammering. Both processes are based on robot assisted forming, but forming of the material is different. In this study, these two processes have been used to form the same test geometries. The deformed geometries have been compared and analysed. The measurements include material elongations, sheet thinning and sheet surface hardening.
