A) BACKGROUND Fabrication is one of the manufacturing processes which in involve in material production. This is a manufacturing production to produce a mini toolbox. The tools used are as below: -bending machine -anvil -scriber -steel ruler -thin snip -hammer -a set of needle file -sheer cutter -Steel scissors -a piece of galvanized iron(420x250mm)

B) PRODUCT PLANNING / STRATEGY

1) First,each of us are given a piece of galvanized iron. The size of iron galvanized iron is supposedly 420x250 mm but we are given 450x290 mm for precaution. 2) Then,we have to squared the galvanized iron. 3) After squaring it, we have to cut the iron galvanized iron to the actual sized which is 420x250mm. 4) Next, we have to draw the measurement needed as in the plan of the project given.

5) After that, we have to cut the part that are not needed. 6) Then we bending the part that are needed.. 7) Next, we have to hem and seam at the both edge of the toolbox.

8) After that,we kocked the part that are hem and seam to make sure it is closed enough. 9) Lastly, we maked the handle of the toolbox.

C) DISCUSSION D) CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT

As a conclusion, we are exposed to another material removing process involving a piece of sheet metal, which is known as fabrication machining. The practical application enables us to understand better the manufacturing process and safety precautions to be considered during any activities. This fabrication project is very important in producing a creative designer in planning the process to produce a product and at the same time create a product that have the esthetics value and also functionable. Designing something new can develope self confidence and innovative designer. Suggestion for improvement : To provide more complex design to further understand the manufacturing capabilities and various other tools and application. To enforce usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) among technicians to provide good example to the students.

The end product of this project is as shown above. All the dimensions of the toolbox are following the dimension given in the drawing. The tolerance of the dimensions is 3 mm.During the process, it was understood that the strategy to accomplish the required shape as per drawing involves usage of multiple tools like conventional shearing machine, conventional bending machine, steel ruler, L-Square steel ruler, scriber, anvil, tin snip, rubber mallet, gripper and gripper player. The process can be further improved by applying an automated system to the tool movement. It is very hard to control the amount of materials to be removed with manual handling. This will result to waste of materials and parts which does not comply with the specified tolerance.
