Incremental Forming process, IF is a technology for producing 3D-dimensional complex sheet profiles. The advantages of the process involve simple set tools, fixture and forming tool, shorter time for producing the pattern, and flexibility. While the main limitation of the process is the springback that represent geometry accuracy, the part profile precision limits the difficulty of forming toolpaths, including the wall angle. This work presents the forming toolpaths effect in the IF process. The supporting space and the product base dimension including wall angle is used to study the springback effect through the incremental forming process. Sheet metals Aluminium-A1025 are used for manufacturing the products. The research goals are to comprehend the springback defect behaviour which is affected by the supporting space-toolpath angle and the supporting space-product base ratios. The strain distributions and the thinning percentage of the final product section have been considered and analyzed in detail.
