Die Maker Die makers perform cutting, grinding, and assembly to fabricate jigs, fixtures, dies, and inspection, cutting, and machine tools using manual and CNC machines, including lathes, mills, and grinders.
Electron Beam Welding Operator Electron beam welding operators use a high-velocity beam of electrons to join two materials together into an assembly or part that meets specifications.
Fundamentals Stamping/forming/fabricating fundamentals offers an introduction to the stamping and forming industry, covering such topics as common vocabulary, safety, processes, and theory of the basic practices necessary when operating machine tools to produce parts from sheet or tube metal. Those new to the operation of presses, press brakes, and other fabrication machine tools will learn the basics they need to work towards a profession in the stamping and forming industry.
Hydroforming Operator Hydroforming operators shape sheet metal or metal tubes into various, often complex shapes using one or two dies.
Laser Cutter Operator Laser cutter operators use a high-power density laser to cut sheet metal or other materials, often using computer numerical control.
Laser Welding Operator Laser welding operators use a high-power density laser to join metal or plastic together into an assembly or part that meets specifications.
Lead Press Operator/Setup Lead press operator setup technicians set up and operate a press machine tool to cut, shear, or punch parts from sheet metal that meet established specifications and check those parts for defects.
Press Brake Operator Press brake operators set up and operate a press brake machine tool to bend sheet metal into parts that meet established specifications and check those parts for defects.
Roll Forming Operator Roll forming operators set up and operate a machine tool to roll sheet metal into parts that meet established specifications and check those parts for defects.
Stamping Press Operator Stamping press operators set up and operate a press machine tool to cut, shear, or punch parts from sheet metal that meet established specifications and check those parts for defects.
Tube/Bar Bending Operator Tubebar bending operators set up and operate a pipe bending machine tool to produce parts that meet established specifications and check those parts for defects.
