The document provides an overview of a student project using a combination of thin structure machining and single point incremental forming (SPIF) to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness. The goals are to model parts to test stiffness and weight reduction, improve wall straightness, and determine factors that affect cracking during forming such as speed and depth. The current status includes preliminary finite element analysis, bulkhead research, simple part modeling, preparing samples to measure wall straightness, and planning new sample preparation.
