Ornamentation of facade panels of buildings by method of incremental sheet metal forming

Metal facade panels form the exterior of the building, making its surface attractive and modern. With their help, it is possible to perform cladding of buildings of various sizes and purposes, such as residential buildings, industrial facilities, shopping centers, etc. The article considers the technology of incremental sheet metal forming, to produce an ornament on flat front metal panels. This technology significantly increases the variability of design solutions and the external facade decoration of a building, as well as it is much cheaper and more affordable in comparison with the classical processes of sheet stamping. The article analyzes the application of incremental molding in construction and architecture. The façade panel with national ornament was modeled, various methods of its manufacturing by means of incremental molding were considered. Numerical simulation of forming processes is carried out. The optimal variant of forming is chosen. For the best option, an experimental setup was developed and a pilot molding was carried out. Measurements and analysis of the results were carried out and compared with numerical simulation in the PamStamp software package.
