Incremental　forming　technology　is　gaining　increasing　attention　from　various　industrial　sectors　owing　to　its　adaptability　and　potential　for　customization.　Nonetheless,　some　challenges　such　as　poor　geometric　precision　are　impeding　the　industrial　widespread　of　this　method.　Hybridization,　cooperation　between　mechanisms/processes/energies/approaches,　has　lately　emerged　as　a　powerful　approach　to　elevate　the　manufacturing　competence.　To　this　end,　hybridization　idea　has　been　implemented　in　the　area　of　incremental　forming　to　address　the　pertinent　challenges,　and　conducive　outcomes　have　been　achieved.　The　present　article　reviews　advancements　made　in　hybrid　incremental　forming.　The　article　begins　with　a　comparative　analysis　of　contemporary　and　traditional　incremental　forming　processes　from　multiple　viewpoints.　Subsequently,　recent　developments　in　energy-assisted　incremental　forming　processes,　categorized　into　cryogenic　temperature-assisted,　thermal-assisted　and　special　energy　field-assisted　techniques　(which　encompass　ultrasonic,　electric,　and　electromagnetic　fields),　are　summarized.　The　mechanisms　through　which　special　energy　fields　interact　with　materials　and　their　subsequent　impact　on　the　forming　quality　of　workpieces　are　systematically　examined.　Additionally,　the　benefits　and　drawbacks　of　various　assisted　methods　are　analyzed.　Furthermore,　the　current　state　of　research　regarding　the　hybridization　of　incremental　forming　with　other　forming　processes　is　outlined,　which　offers　novel　avenues　for　enhancing　productivity　and　the　quality　of　workpiece　deformation.　Lastly,　the　prospective　advancements　in　hybrid　incremental　forming　technology　are　presented　to　support　its　application　in　large-scale　industrial　contexts.
