617-149 — Tool Design
Fundamental stamping die and mold design principles are used to transform part drawings into completed metal stamping die and injection mold designs. Students calculate blanking and stripping forces to select appropriate sized punch press. Parting lines will be determined with core and cavities extracted for a variety of molded parts. One core and cavity will be 3D printed and run in our 90 ton injection molding machine to produce prototype parts. A 3D scanner will be used to reverse engineer a part.
