SHEET METAL WORKSHOP 

Shape. Form. Fabricate. Build.

Sheet Metal Workshop provides hands-on training in the practical techniques used to fabricate useful engineering components from thin metal sheets. Students develop skills in measurement, marking, cutting, bending, forming, joining and finishing while learning to work accurately and safely with workshop tools.

What Students Learn

• Measurement and accurate marking

• Development of sheet-metal surfaces

• Cutting using snips and shearing tools

• Bending and folding

• Hemming and forming

• Riveting and sheet-metal joints

• Soldering where applicable

• Trimming and finishing

• Inspection of dimensions and workmanship

• Safe handling of sheet-metal tools

Practical Projects

🔹 Rectangular Sheet Metal Tray
Students prepare the development, mark the required dimensions, cut the sheet, make hemming, bend the sides to 90° and join the corners by riveting.

🔹 Sheet Metal Funnel
Students develop the required surface, transfer the pattern to sheet metal, cut and form the sheet, create the required joints, carry out soldering where specified, and complete trimming and finishing.

Workshop Tools

Students gain practical experience with:

Steel Rule | Scriber | Divider | Protractor | Snips | Mallet | Ball-Peen Hammer | Stakes | Punch

These tools are used for measurement, marking, cutting, bending, forming and joining sheet-metal components.

From Drawing to Finished Product

Understand → Measure → Mark → Cut → Bend → Join → Finish → Inspect

Our practical approach helps students connect engineering drawing and surface development with real manufacturing operations.

Student Job Card

Every student completes a digital Job Card after finishing the practical work. The Job Card records:

• Student and job details

• Material and tools used

• Manufacturing operations completed

• Actual measurements

• Quality inspection

• Safety compliance

• Finished-job photographs

• Student declaration

• Instructor verification and assessment

Learning Outcome

Students develop the ability to plan and execute basic sheet-metal fabrication operations, select appropriate hand tools, follow a systematic manufacturing process, inspect the completed component and maintain workshop safety and workmanship standards.
