Abstract: The current paper refers to one of the new non-conventional forming procedures for sheets metal, namely incremental forming. Problems occurring during calculation of stress, thinning and the forces in the process of incremental sheet metal forming have been analysed in this paper. The paper presents a study based on the finite element method of incremental sheet metal forming with hemispherical punch. The influence of the main parameters of the forming process is studied. Parameters taken into account were the deep of the obtained part and the punch diameter, the two parameters being varied on two levels.
