Differential technologies<\/p>\n

Incremental Sheet Forming<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Prototyping and manufacturing singular parts or short series of metal in complex shapes now is possible!<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

The Incremental Sheet Forming machine<\/strong> (ISF) by Eurecat offers a new technology service from prototype and short series manufacturing to complete transfer of technology to companies, involving a tailor-made machine to meet your manufacturing news<\/p>\n

Unlike conventional proceses, the main advantage of ISF by Eurecat is that\u00a0does not requiere investment into costy tools, suchs as dies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fabrication<\/h3>\n<\/div>

The ISF technology is based on two different manufacturing concepts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 3D incremental forming<\/strong>: the part is formed as a result of\u00a0slight deformations applied successively layer by layer\u00a0through the CAM program.<\/li>\n
  • Rapid manufacturing<\/strong>: the part\u00a0can be made directly from the 3D file, with no need to make tools, thus accelerating the production process like 3D additive manufacturing technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Applications<\/h3>\n<\/div>

    The main use for incremental sheet forming technology is the <\/span>production of prototypes and short series of shee<\/span><\/strong><\/span>t m<\/strong>etal parts<\/strong>. You can use\u00a0different work materials\u00a0for ISF technology such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Aluminium (anodised for complex shapes)<\/li>\n
    • Conventional Steel<\/li>\n
    • High-strength steel<\/li>\n
    • Stainless steel<\/li>\n
    • Titanium alloys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      ISF, a singular technology<\/h2>\n<\/div>

      ISF technology by Eurecat is mainly aimed to produce singular parts or short series, without using die. Moreover, ISF proves to be highly beneficial across a variety of industrial sectors.<\/p>\n
