Incremental forming with contact between tool-sheet metal workpiece in a single point is an unconventional process which allow the user to manufacture parts by combining the vertical movement of the tool along Z-axis and the horizontal movements of sheet metal workpiece, which are performed in XY plane. As technological equipment able to control coordinated movements on three axes, CNC machining centers and industrial serial robots with six degrees of freedom are the most suitable. The paper introduces a study regarding the use of robots as technological equipment for the process, by means of simulation. Supplementary degrees of freedom and singularities avoidance are also considered.
