Course Description:
This course is designed to give students knowledge of press operations. An overview of standard frame
structures and press accessories including stock feeders and de-coilers as well as new press technology and
current developments in the stamping industry will be presented. The second part of the course covers
material strips, sheet metal models, die design, and tonnage calculations. Students will use solid modeling
software to develop and troubleshoot die designs.
