Course Title: Sheet Metal Stamping

10 Professional Development Hours/1.0 CEUs

Course Description: The Sheet Metal Stamping Course begins by discussing the evolution of the stamping die, and the impact it has had on the industrial revolution. A review of single operation dies such as blank, compound and pierce, form, and draw dies are also discussed. The dies that perform multiple operations on the same piece, such as progressive and transfer dies are also mentioned. Other topics that are elaborated upon include, different dies relative to the final product’s parameters, complexity of the final product, material that will be used to fabricate from, and production volume requirements of the final product.

Overall Course Objectives:

Understand the basics of sheet metal stamping.
