Virtual Compensation of Springback in Sheet Metal Deformation Using Reconfigurable Multipoint Die

Abstract

Forming with reconfigurable multipoint dies is a flexible manufacturing stamping technology which it uses discrete punches to materialize the continuous 3-D surface of the active elements. In the paper is presented an algorithm for springback compensation in deformation with multipoint reconfigurable die and the results of the virtual compensation of this phenomenon using the finite element method, as the central part of the proposed algorithm.
