Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice (Metal Work) focuses on the fundamental skills required for shaping, assembling, and finishing metal components in various industries. This discipline covers essential processes such as welding, machining, sheet metal work, and metal fabrication, ensuring precision and durability in manufacturing and construction applications. It involves the use of specialized tools like lathes, milling machines, drills, and grinding machines to shape and refine metal parts. Additionally, techniques such as forging, casting, and heat treatment are incorporated to enhance the strength and functionality of metal products.
Another key feature of Mechanical Engineering Craft Practice (Metal Work) is its emphasis on safety, efficiency, and technical proficiency. Students and professionals in this field learn about material properties, blueprint reading, and quality control to ensure high standards in metalwork production. With advancements in automation and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), modern metalwork integrates CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining for increased accuracy and productivity. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology makes this field essential for industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and heavy machinery manufacturing.
