The CAD Drafting portion of the program provides for the development of projection skills and view creation skills, by using ANSI drawing standards. Tool Design - Tools are used in the manufacture of a variety of products. Some of the major manufacturing tools are Plastics Injection Molds, Sheet Metal Stamping Dies and Jigs and Fixtures for machined parts. Tool Design is the development and the design of the tool.
Students learn tooling terminology, and concepts.
Students are given products to design simple and complex jigs, fixtures, dies and molds. The designs are done in CAD and on a drawing board. Our program leads directly into Product Design Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, Plastics Engineering Technology, Occupational Education or a Business degree.
