Sheet metal design is an important skill in industry todayand will be in the future. Due to its versatility designing with sheet metal finds applications in almost all major industries where physical products are manufactured

This course covers the essential basic theoretical and practical knowledge required for Designing Sheet metal parts aimed at Design engineers who are designing products

The common processes

Materials and the properties which matter for design

What is anisotropy

Comparison between hardness, toughness and strength

What happens to the Material when it is formed or Bent?

The Theory behind Forming and Bending

Form-ability and Bend-ability of metal sheets and what factors affect them

What are underlying principles which make a metal formable?

Forming limit diagrams and how they are created

Bending Parameters  in design

Bending direction and its affect on quality

K factor, Neutral axis, Bend allowance

The concept of Spring-back and ways to reduce it

What is wrinkling and why does it occur?

Deep drawing process and Practice

Rolling, hydroforming, Stretch forming

Joining processes and their comparison

Equipment used to perform operations

Design Guidelines to create cost- effective designs which are suitable for manufacturing.

Design projects with considerations

So if you are a student exploring the world of product design  or a design engineer who wants to make products with sheet metal then this courses will be a good value addition.

The course is designed with short to the point explanations with focus on right understanding towards thoughtful design.
