2 day course

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

Learn the parameters that influence how a part is processed for manufacture and the effect on blank size. You will learn how the product design will determine the press required, part orientation in the die, number of dies required, and the blank size. Examples will be presented on how to process outer and inner panels and reinforcements. Students will work in groups to process and determine the blank size for a reinforcement from a part print.
