    In this paper, the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming method is proposed. Warm forming experiments are carried out using YdYAG laser with wavelength of 1064 nm and 3D morphology of formed T2 copper parts are observed. The influence of temperature (25 ℃, 100 ℃, 150 ℃, 200 ℃) and laser energy (1020, 1380, 1690, 1900 mJ) on the forming depth are analyzed. Hardness variation of the formed parts in forming regions is studied using nanoindentation and the forming mechanism is preliminary analyzed. It is found that better comprehensive performance during the plastic deformation is obtained by the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming method: not only warm formability can be improved but also the hardness can be improved properly in forming regions. It is concluded that the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming results from the competitive effects of both the laser shock peening mechanism and temperature soften mechanism.
