Single-point incremental forming (SPIF) is a quite new sheet-forming process which offers the possibility to deform complex parts without dedicated dies using a single-point tool and a standard three-axis CNC machine. Although the process mechanics enables higher strains with respect to traditional sheet-forming processes, research has been focused on further increasing the maximum forming angle. In the paper, a new approach is used to enhance the material formability through a localized sheet heating as a consequence of the friction work caused by high speed rotating tool. Numerical simulation was utilized to relate the effect of temperature with the main field variables distribution in the sheet.
