Catalog Course Description

Focuses on advanced drawing techniques in the layout and design of production press work dies. Typical dies covered are blank, cam pierce, form, cutoff, draw, and progressive. Press computations and accessories are put in perspective as they relate to design problems. Drawing assignments are done extensively on CAD.
