To make the structure of aircraft meet the aerodynamic requirements, complex lightweight structures such as double curvature shape and high-strength lightweight materials such as titanium alloy are generally used in design and forming of aircraft skin parts. But the forming processes and problems aimed to this kind of parts remain to be investigated further now. In this paper, based on single point incremental forming process, the TC4 titanium alloy aircraft parts with a complex double curvature was studied. In order to reduce the springback during the forming process an appropriate addendum surface was added to the part surface, and then ABAQUS software was applied to carry out numerical simulation of the forming and springback process. The results show that springback of complex titanium part with double curvature is small at both ends of part while large in the middle and the distribution of springback orientation depends on the curvature. For that the part is difficult to form by single point incremental forming process without springback compensation, so the tool path needs to be improved firstly. The simulation results can play a role for guiding the parameters selection and the compensated surface design of single point incremental forming process which can achieve the cold forming of parts with complex structure for poor formability materials.
