Die Maker - Certificate of Achievement

Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:

1. Verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances of finished parts for conformance to specifications, using measuring instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers, or dial indicators.
2. Study blueprints, sketches, models, or specifications to plan sequences of operations for fabricating tools, dies, or assemblies.
3. Set up and operate conventional or computer numerically controlled machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, or grinders to cut, bore, grind, or otherwise shape parts to prescribed dimensions and finishes.
4. Visualize and compute dimensions, sizes, shapes, and tolerances of assemblies, based on specifications.
5. Inspect finished dies for smoothness, contour conformity, and defects.
