FORMING, TOOLING AND REVISIONS / FIELD NOTE 31
Springback in Formed Aluminum Panels
A formed sheet can change shape when removed from tooling. The resulting difference depends on material, geometry and the forming process, so it is a production question to verify on a representative part.
What to check on your project
Give the fabricator the target surface, permitted deviation and alloy and temper requirements. Ask how the forming process will be validated and whether the tool or process needs iteration before series work.
