Incremental Sheet Forming is a rather new forming process which is used to obtain complex three dimensional parts by stretching the sheet with a pin tool whose path is controlled by a CNC machine. This study presents a new fixture design for Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) and experiments conducted for two profiles. Single Point Incremental Forming is used for small and batch production. The fixture presented in this study was made using mild steel which can be used for performing multiple forming purposes. The circular profile and a square profile were generated using a spherical head tool of 5mm diameter made of Stainless steel and the results were compared with that of Simulations for the same profiles using the analysis software, ABAQUS. The experiments were carried out using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine.
