Tooling Design Exhibition Day

Congratulation to all students who give 100% commitment and put an effort to make sure their objectives in the tooling design achieved. Also thank you to all technicians, who keep advising, supporting and assisting the students during their project, esspecially Mr. Azhar and Mr. Shawal. These photos are left for our memory. Congratulation for the winners. Others are not looser, but their time not coming yet. See you later guys.

Industrial visit to the Solid Precision Engineering Sdn Bhd at Sungai Petani, Kedah

 

industrial visit   

On April 14, 2014, a group of 14 students from Mnufacturing with Management Program, School of Mechanical Engineering has been organized an industrial visit to Solid Precision Engineering Sdn Bhd located at Sungai Petani Kedah. The purpose of this visit is to expose undergraduate students to metal stamping process and tooling design, which related to their course i.e. EPD 332 Tooling Design.

The visit begins with brief introduction by Mr Boey Kok Hong, as the Managing Director of the company. This company is producing precision metal stamping solutions including design, prototyping, precision tooling, precision metal stamping parts and variety of value-added assembly services. The company specialization is in the design and fabrication of multistage progressive tools, which are used in automated stamping processes. After that, the students bring to factory tour. Lastly, we ended this visit by giving certificate of appreciation from the School of Mechanical Engineering USM, handed by Dr. Ahmad Baharuddin Abdullah.
