Description
Sheet metal has become an increasingly valuable material in the modern world, and is used heavily in industries like construction and manufacturing. It’s used to make cars, trucks, airplanes, household appliances, and too many other items to count. Because of its widespread use and production, increasing the efficiency of production by even a small amount could save vast amounts of money, materials, and time. For this project I will optimize the design of a sheet metal lamp to make as many of them from a 100”x100” piece of sheet metal as possible, to best demonstrate those ideas about optimization.
