The incremental forming process is a flexible alternative to conventional cold metal forming processes. One of the main disadvantages of the process is that it allows the processing of a single type of workpiece size, because the working area and implicitly the size of the workpiece sheet that can be processed is fixed. To eliminate this disadvantage, a flexible modular system for fixing the workpiece is proposed, which allows the user to adjust the size of the workspace and implicitly the size of the workpiece.
