Incremental Sheet Forming, contents and pedagogical approaches for online teaching & learning by Prof. Beartiz Silva

The webinar focus is the application of Incremental Forming of metals and polymers, including the variants of the process, formability, modelling and applications. We also will discuss online teaching and learning aspects of such processes.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the webinar. We are especially welcome researchers from the mechanical engineering field, as well as researchers and manufacturing and industrial management processes, teachers and students interested to discuss their teaching and learning experiences.

The new face of the global competitive environment is driving the need for developing innovative flexible manufacturing processes for small-quantity production and rapid prototyping of metal and polymer parts. In the case of parts made from sheets, a new class of forming processes denoted as ‘incremental sheet-forming’ processes is gaining relevance due to its capabilities of meeting the actual trends of manufacturing. 

The webinar focus is the application of Incremental Forming of metals and polymers, including the variants of the process, formability, modelling and applications.

Program:

  • Keynote by Prof.Silva: 0:00 - 34:40
  • Q&A: starts at 34:40

If you have any questions about the content, interested in building such a machine for your prototyping needs or have in mind a possible collaboration, please contact our guest Beatriz Silva via email: beatriz.silva(@)tecnico.ulisboa.pt
