Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare to manufacture cavity die
- Manufacture tooling
- Appropriate materials are selected and obtained to meet tooling requirements for strength, durability, component finish, heat treatment qualities where necessary and accounting for materials availability.
- Selected material is tested for hardness as appropriate to aid selection of machine tools, hand tools and hand held power tools to be used to fashion or shape tooling components.
- Plan is developed to sequence and stage manufacturing process, including establishing datum, mark out, rough out (machine or fashion), stress relieve/heat treat, finish size, fashion and fit and assemble componentry.
- Perform machining operations
- Use hand and hand held power tools
- Assemble tooling components
- Trial tooling

Range Statement
|
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
Tooling | Forging dies, extruding dies, die casting (high and low pressure and gravity feed), plastic moulds (injection, compression, blow and foam) and glass moulds or dies requiring precision manufacture |
