Description
Sheet metal is a very important part of our everyday lives. It is used in a variety of everyday applications, such as ovens, microwaves, vent ducts, and even cars. It is very important to be smart about how the metal is cut out, in order to make sure that the least amount of it is wasted. For this project we wish to explain a bit more about the process of manufacturing sheet metal items, show how to create a lamp out of a flat piece of sheet metal, and how to make these lamps with the least amount of waste material possible.
