Laser forming is fast emerging as a viable means for the shaping of metallic components, as
a means of rapid prototyping and of adjusting and aligning. Relevant industry sectors …

Laser forming plastically deforms the material by means of a laser beam with or without the
application of mechanical loads. It can be used for bending of sheets and tubes and also for …

Laser forming (LF) is an emerging laser process with potential for use in line bending or
spatial forming of metal components and in the precise adjustment of novel miniature on …

The inverse problem of determining how to shot peen a plate such that it deforms into the
desired target shape is a challenge in the peen forming industry. While peening thick plates …

Although forming sheet metal by laser-induced thermal stresses (laser forming) has been
extensively studied, the research has mainly focused on a single angle forming process. The …

Laser forming is a technique developed over the last 5 years or so which allows the forming
and bending of metallic components without the need for hard tooling. This makes it a …

This thesis is submitted as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Danish PhD
degree. The study has been carried out at the Department of Naval Architecture and …

The laser forming process has been shown to be a viable method of shaping metallic
components, as a means of rapid prototyping and of adjusting and aligning. Although the …

Forming sheet metal by laser-induced thermal stress (laser forming) is considered to have a
great potential for rapid prototyping and other flexible manufacturing. However, the previous …

A non-contact laser forming (LF) demonstrator system was developed to demonstrate the
process on a large primitive shape. The research that led to this development is described in …
