Because of the application trends of Industry 4.0, small-volume large-variety production becomes the daily life in the manufacturing industry. Techniques to flexibly shape sheet metal parts are therefore more and more inquired. This paper is thus aimed to have a preliminary glimpse at the shaping process made by the English wheel, which is broadly used by craftsmen, via Finite Element Analysis. As a result, the parts shaped by an English wheel with a zigzag path show a curved surface having a homogeneous curvature. The more the impression from the bottom roll onto the sheet metal, the smaller the radius of the bottom roll, and the thinner as well as the more compliant the sheet metal, the larger the curvature of the shaped metal part.
