Sheet Metal Design Solutions  

 

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.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Product, Process, Tooling, and Manufacturing Engineers, Designers, Cost and Tooling
Estimators, who require an understanding on how the product design effects the die line-up
and material requirements of a stamping.
