Description

If there was one resource that could be considered to be commonly used within just about every industry worldwide, it would probably be sheet metal. It is used in the making of cars, construction of houses, the housing of electronics, and many more applications. These are all components of our lives that are used daily, which makes sheet metal a very important part of modern life. Considering all of this, I will be engaging in a poster project involving sheet metal for the spring 2024 STEM Poster Symposium at JCCC. For my project, I will be designing a lamp to be made out of sheet metal. The goal of this will be to highlight the different aspects of manufacturing items out of the material. The cutting, forming, joining, and finishing processes will be highlighted. Another important aspect will be optimization in the designing process to minimize the waste generated when building the lamp and showing how a small amount of sheet metal can be turned into a very useful product for the world.
