Title: Fabrication
Objectives:
a) To produce a product based on the given metal sheet.
b) To study the process of fabrication on a sheet of metal.
c) To learn practically on how to use the equipment safely and with the
correct way.
Introduction And Theory
Fabrication is a fabricated product where a piece or sheet of metal will went through a
few type of processes such as cutting, bending and assembling. The fabrication of
metal usually starts with a precise dimensions and specifics drawing of the planned
product so that it will provides a clear instruction on how to produce the product.
In this fabrication workshop, the students are required to build a multipurpose
tray from a piece of metal sheet. There are several items that are needed to build this
product which will be explained later.
First, a piece of metal sheet with a dimension of 370mm X 330 mm is given to the
students which is a necessary item to produce the product. metal sheet such as
aluminium and galvanized sheet are widely used in commercial products because of
its properties which are ductile, light, and does not rust easily compared to other
metals. A lot of new tools are introduced to the students to assist them in completing
this project such as scriber, aviation snips, centre punch and so on. This hand tools are
very important in marking and cutting processes.
