ContentStudents enhance their welding and lathe skills and apply them safely to design and build a metal product. Examples include desks, stools, stands, bench vices, BBQ plate grills, go-kart frames and more. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software skills are developed to produce accurate technical drawings to communicate their designs with a range of audiences and to plan the production process. Students evaluate their design and production process. Materials are predominantly hollow steel tube (square or round) with some flat or solid steel as required. Students develop an understanding of Safe Operating Procedures and develop skills with hand tools, handheld power tools and a range of workshop equipment, which may include:
