Small-batch production and prototyping are the features of sheet metal forming in aerospace manufacturing industry. So incremental sheet forming can be used to manufacture the aerospace sheet metal parts with cost-effectiveness. 2024 and 7075 are the aluminum alloys used mostly in aerospace manufacturing. Single-point incremental forming experiments with 2024 and 7075 are carried to form semi-sphere, cone and pyramid shape parts. The effects of tooling radius, tool path, feeding rate and step depth on the forming depth of parts are investigated. Forming limit curves of incremental forming of 2024 and 7075 are obtained.
