The proposal in this research is use a CNC router to manufacture parts using a unique forming process called incremental forming (IF).  Incremental forming is unique in sheet metal forming as it extremely adaptable due to the lack of need for part specific forming dies and the use of equipment that is commonly found in machine shops.  CNC routers are used to provide the forming platform and forces.  Instead of forming dies, forming jigs and fixtures are used; these are developed within the research lab as they must fit the CNC router.A laser scanner is needed to scan the parts manufactured using the CNC router and give valuable data on how accurately the part was manufactured.  This is similar to the inspections which are currently done on most manufactured parts.The combination of the CNC router and laser scanner will support my Discovery Grant on determination of the critical forming factors in incremental forming  The research program involves fundamental experimental studies to determine critical factors. By have a CNC router and laser scanner dedicated to incremental forming research the number of manufactured parts can be increased significantly providing greater knowledge of incremental forming.  The knowledge base for incremental forming is very small as there are only a few researchers around the world working with this process.  The is a great need to develop the knowledge base in order to determine where this process is best implement in the manufacturing world.  The significance of Canada pursuing this research is the competitive edge it could provide to our manufacturing industry by allowing them to customize products and develop products in short time.

这项研究中的建议使用CNC路由器，使用称为增量形成（如果）的唯一形成过程来制造零件。增量形成在钣金形成中是独一无二的，因为由于缺乏对部分特定形成模具的需求以及在机械车间中常见的设备的使用，因此它非常适应。 CNC路由器用于提供形成平台和力。不用形成模具，而是使用夹具和固定装置。这些是在研究实验室内开发的，因为它们必须符合CNC路由器。需要激光扫描仪来扫描使用CNC路由器制造的零件，并提供有关零件制造程度的准确性数据。这类似于目前在大多数制造零件上进行的检查。CNC路由器和激光扫描仪的组合将支持我的发现赠款，以确定逐步形成研究计划的关键形成因素涉及基本实验研究以确定关键因素。通过具有专门用于增量成型研究的CNC路由器和激光扫描仪，可以显着增加制造零件的数量，从而提供更多的增量形成知识。增量形成的知识基础非常小，因为世界各地只有少数研究人员正在处理此过程。为了确定在制造业世界中最好地实现此过程的何处，这是建立知识库的巨大需求。加拿大追求这项研究的重要性是它可以通过允许在短时间内定制产品并开发产品来为我们的制造业提供的竞争优势。
