Continuous forming system (CRS) is a novel technique for manufacturing 3D surface parts. CRF employs two flexible rolls to generate deformation by controlling roll gap between two flexible rolls. Finite element model is set up to investigate the CRF process. The influence of maximum height difference and maximum compression ratio difference in cross-section has been investigated. The accuracy of the longitudinal was demonstrated through numerical simulations. CRF experiments were performed and the results show the shape of the formed part is in good agreement with the shape of the desired part.
