Lab Course at Metal Forming Lab

Metal forming lab is one of the laboratory being used for undergraduate course, mostly the lab course like EPL212 (Manufacturing Lab 1) and EPD342 (Design for Manufacture and Tooling, before know as Tooling Design). Now, two lab topics is currently running, i.e. Metal Blanking and Metal Forming. These two labs, focus on the post-forming defect like the former lab on formation of burr during blanking process and the later on springback pattern during v-bending process. Photos below shows some of the activities during the lab session. Note that, facilties use in both labs were custom-made and fabricated in-house. The hydraulic press machine for example was made of recycle part, with minor modification at minimum expenditure, it can be utilized for the benefit of students and research at the lab.
