How can we diversify material application in construction?
Incremental forming is a process with great design potential locked behind fabrication constraints which make it unsuitable for architectural and construction applications. An alternative approach to sheet metal fabrication is to create perforations in the material along which the sheet can deform. An ideal method would draw on both in a hybrid system.

Forming Process: The waterjet-cut aluminum sheet is mounted at the edges to a steel channel frame. The end effector, a hard rubber ball, is pressed into the sheet repeatedly to form the sheet outward.
