Abstract

The concept of Industry 4.0 envisions the flexibilization of production and high levels of automation of existing manufacturing processes. As an extension of this concept, Industry 5.0 assumes the adaptation of products to the individual needs of users, with a particular emphasis on creativity, personalization, sustainability, and an ethical approach to business. Within these concepts, the development of metal forming technology is also recognized. In addition to the usual mass production, the development of various roboforming ideas is steering this branch of industry towards greater flexibilization, as well as personalization of production. This supports the idea of sustainability, enables more precise determination of the quantity of required material and energy resources, and emphasizes quality over quantity. This paper provides an overview of metal forming technologies that belong to the domain of roboforming of sheet metals, from the basic idea in 1960s to the present day. These technologies have seen a marked tendency to accelerate in development over the past few years. The technologies are classified, and an overview of scientific papers proposing their development and application is provided, with a discussion of the fundamental production parameters that influence product quality as well as the production trend towards Industry 5.0.
