About
Valentin Oleksik is a dedicated researcher in the field of advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on **single point incremental forming (SPIF)**—a die-less, flexible sheet metal forming process. His work systematically investigates the mechanical behavior and process parameters of SPIF, including the influence of geometrical features, wall angle, and part shape on **thickness reduction** and **springback**. A standout contribution is his 2014 study (26 citations), which pioneered the use of an anthropomorphic robot for vertical sheet forming, offering a novel approach to toolpath control. Oleksik has also explored the formability of diverse materials, from **metal active gas (MAG) tailor welded blanks** to polymer sheets like PA and PE, and compared 3-axis versus 5-axis toolpaths to enhance accuracy and productivity. His 2021 review of common SPIF defects provides a practical guide for process optimization. With a cumulative impact of over 40 citations, Oleksik’s research is essential for students and engineers seeking to understand the limits and capabilities of incremental forming, bridging experimental insights with real-world manufacturing challenges.
