Abstract
The proposed work presents an experimental analysis carried out to investigate the downstream workability of a thermoplastic composite by one of the most versatile and flexible process. Glass fiber reinforced Polyamide 6 is the investigated material and the Single Point Incremental Forming is the implemented manufacturing approach. Since the composite matrix is characterized by a glass transition temperature higher than 50â¯Â°C, an external heating source has been necessary to perform the process in “hot” conditions. The process feasibility was fully demonstrated as well as the same was optimized in order to derive proper guidelines that can drive the process designer in the method star-up.
