Components for a progressive die are machined while continuing to develop skills in CNC machining, conventional machining, and surface grinding. Prerequisite(s): Complete TDMKG-371. TDMKG-373 Credits:4 Stamping Die Making 3 Students’ knowledge increases as they complete a progressive die. They learn advanced surface grinding along with wire EDM programming, setup, and operation. Die mounting skills are enhanced as they align and mount pierce, blank and cuto ff punches. Prerequisite(s): Complete TDMKG-372. TDMKG-381 Credits:4 Moldmaking 1 Skills and knowledge are enhanced through the machining of various mold components. A variety of conventional and CNC machine tools are utilized with instruction that focuses on tolerance, fi tting, and fi nal assembly. Setup and operation of the RAM EDM is introduced. Prerequisite(s): Complete TDMKG-373. TDMKG-382 Credits:4 Moldmaking 2 This course is a continuation of Moldmaking 1 with a focus on CNC VMC programming, setup, and operation, as well as mold polishing. Mold components will be produced utilizing conversational CNC mills and surfacing grinding. Mold component relationship and function are stressed. As with other moldmaking courses, the student must trial run the completed mold. Prerequisite(s): Complete TDMKG-381. TDMKG-383 Credits:4 Moldmaking 3 Students will expand upon the moldmaking knowledge developed in the fi rst two courses as they develop CNC programs and construct a mold that will run in a master unit die. Essential moldmaking practices are further developed as students produce all of the mold components required for their capstone project. Prerequisite(s): Complete TDMKG-382.
