The research status of stamping springback for auto-body parts was discussed fully relating to the research objects, methods and influencing factors such as die structure parameters, sheet metal property parameters etc. Then, the main factors including yield criterion, material constitutive model and hardening model influencing on the precise and computing efficiency of springback prediction were emphatically summarized, and the research differences of springback at home and abroad were given mainly from aspects of forming technology and new materials. Furthermore, the trend of springback research was given, the research object was expanded from simple parts to complex parts, the forming process was developed to the warm and hot forming，and the application of CFRP and other new materials. Finally, it was pointed out that the future research concerns was focused on establishing new material constitutive models, improving the existing springback theory, innovating and developing the related research methods and control measures of springback.
