The new method of laser prestressed bending of Titanium alloy sheet is put forward in this paper. Titanium alloy sheet is produced pre-deformation by a clamp, the laser beam with some certain intensity scans its surface along the given path, and it is formed due to the thermal effect of the laser to reduce the yield strength of the scanning area and enhance its plastic deformation ability. A feasibility experiment for Ti-6Al-4V sheet is done and the bending effect is remarkable. Laser prestressed bending mechanism is described and the main influence factors are analyzed.
