The LCA of sheet metal forming processes is lacking in studies of sustainability issues and quantification of energy and carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions. This paper summarizes an investigation of the relationship between technical parameters in single point incremental forming (SPIF) and energy use. Using a life cycle analysis (LCA) approach, the associated CO
2
emissions are estimated. Costs are calculated using an economic model presented in CIRP previously, and modified for SPIF. The relationships are used in an optimization example which entails producing a complex hat with reduced energy use and CO
