Incremental Forming (IF) technology is increasingly asserting its importance in modern manufacturing due to its numerous outstanding advantages. With the ability to fabricate components with complex geometries, short processing times, low costs and high flexibility, IF is particularly well-suited for small-batch production and rapid prototyping. Although still a relatively novel technique, IF has garnered significant attention from the research community and has achieved notable scientific advancements in recent years. This paper focuses on analyzing the influence of two key process parameters tool feed rate and step size of tool displacement on the thickness reduction phenomenon in incremental sheet forming, using numerical simulation with ABAQUS software. The deformation mechanisms and failure behaviors occurring during the IF process are investigated to elucidate the relationship between process parameters and formability. Furthermore, product quality is evaluated through criteria such as geometric accuracy, surface finish, and potential defect formation. These analyses contribute to enhancing predictive capabilities, optimizing the forming process, minimizing defects and expanding the industrial application scope of IF in the context of industrialization and manufacturing modernization.
