Occupational Specialism – Machining and Toolmaking:
The purpose of this specialism is for you to know and undertake a range of industrial processes and manufacturing techniques to manufacture and maintain the engineering tooling used to produce components, products and assemblies. This requires the application of a broad range of activities including the interpretation of engineering drawings and technical instructions and the use of hand, machine and automated computer-controlled machine tools and measuring equipment.

You will develop your knowledge, understanding and skills in:
– Common materials structure, composition and properties.
– Special requirements for tools and fixtures for the manufacture of components.
– Requirements for tools and fixtures to aid the manufacture of new or changed components.
– How to set up, select and safely operate, the application of a range of hand tools, operating principles of a range of complex and often state-of-the-art workshop machinery.
– Analysis of data, documentation, tasks, projects and specifications.
– Producing products to specification using suitable methods and techniques.
– Undertaking preventative planned maintenance and checking for faults using fault diagnosis.
– Utilising project management and process improvement.

By enrolling on this course, you will become part of SWIoT (the South West Institute of Technology). SWIoT is a unique collaboration between ÃÜÌÒÊÓƵ and a number of prestigious higher and further education partners; designed to provide innovative technical education and deliver a skilled local workforce, economic growth, and prosperity to the South West.
