439-329 — Industrial Die Making
Focuses on the construction of stamping dies used in industry such as: compound, progressive, forming and hand transfer dies. Students develop skills using various tool room equipment including milling machines, surface grinders, CNC mills, and wire/sinker EDM machines to build various die components. Current 3D and CAM softwares are used to toolpath and manipulate different components of the die. Students are exposed to a team building atmosphere using problem solving and communication skills to overcome die making issues as they arise. (Prerequisite: 439-324 Pierce and Die Making)
