Incremental hammering forming automated using a CCD camera and a database is developed as flexible forming of sheet metals. In this process, the sheets are bent into desired shapes by repeating local deformation due to the hammering. First, the sheet is hammered in accordance with a sequence stored in a database, and then, the roughly formed shape is corrected by hammering at points of large differences of shape according to the three-dimensional shape of the sheet during the forming measured by the CCD camera system.
