Description
Sheet metal is a foundational material in modern engineering. It’s used to create a vast array of functional objects, from industrial ductwork and automotive panels to interior lighting. The goal of this project is to use engineering graphics to fabricate a flat sheet of metal into the desk lamp shown below as efficiently as possible.
