In recent years, mechanical techniques have been exponentially developing, among which metal forming is indispensable. The mechanical parts by this method often exhibit uneven thickness, directly affecting the durability of the product. This study investigates and analyzes the effect of material thickness, friction coefficient, and the fillet radius between the punch and die mechanism on the quality of the product using the metal forming method. The simulation process is conducted using Abaqus software, with the Taguchi method subsequently applied to evaluate the effect of the technological parameters. The results show that the material thickness and curvature radius have the greatest impact on the performance of the product.
