Abstract
This paper presents a study of design of a motorcycle headlight fairing for single point incremental forming by employing a simplified design guideline in conjunction with a finite element simulation of the forming process. Comparison with the experimental formed motorcycle headlight fairing is performed based on a detailed analysis of geometric accuracy of the formed parts. The study may serve as a demonstration of capabilities of single point incremental forming with respect to dimensional accuracy when forming complex parts.
