Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to evaluate design features and functions of stamping and forging tools and related processes used in manufacturing and engineering applications. Stamping and forging includes cold piercing, punching, shearing, forming and drawing, and hot forging. It is suitable for people working as tool designers, maintenance technicians, paraprofessionals and draftspersons, and for those pursuing manufacturing engineering or related technical qualifications and careers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
