A more fexible approach suitable for prototype and small-batch production could be incremental sheet forming (ISF). While ISF of metal sheets has long been a subject of research, nonwoven reinforced organo sheets have not been investigated yet. Therefore, this study uses an incremental punch test to examine the fundamental characteristics of nw-FRTP in incremental forming. A robot-guided tool with a hemispherical tip and localisable heating are employed to deform a nonwoven recycled carbon bre (nw-rCF) reinforced organo sheet. Supplementary material investigations are carried out to understand the observed effects. Results indicate successful localization of heating and deformation. Despite challenges such as temperature gradients and material deconsolidation, the experiments demonstrate promising potential for the incremental forming of nonwoven organo sheets.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Fiber reinforced plasticIncremental sheet formingRecyclingTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials ScienceTechnology::670: ManufacturingTechnology::660: Chemical EngineeringConference Paper10.15480/882.1320210.60691/yj56-np8010.15480/882.13202Conference Paper
