N2 - There are many factors that influence the quality of parts formed by single point incremental forming. The purpose of this work is to take a Design of Experiments approach to study the effects of all major parameters on the quality of the formed part. The two quality measures used were the shape error and the surface roughness. Analysis of Means calculations were performed using these measures. An improvement in surface quality was observed for larger tool sizes and reductions in step size. This study also shows that the spindle direction during forming has a major role on the surface quality of formed parts.
