Mechanical engineering (tool and die) is the
branch of engineering that applies the principles of physics and material
science for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical
system. It involves the production and usage of making design for the tool,
production and operation of machines. This field requires an understanding of
core concepts including mechanics, Thermodynamics, Material science, Jigs and
fixtures, Press tools, Forging dies and Plastic Engineering. Tool and Die
Engineers use these core principles along with the tools like computer aided
manufacturing, computer integrated manufacturing, and Product life cycle
management to design and analyze plants, equipments and machineries.

Functions
|
- It includes measuring out the design on the raw
material (usually metal), then cut it to size and shape using manually
controlled machine tools (such as
lathes, milling machines, grinding machines and jig grinders) and hand
tools (such as files, hones and stones). Computer-aided-design and
Computer-aided machining are also used to perform these tasks
- Using common tools like metal forming rolls, lathe bits,
milling cutters and form tools for production of products.
- Using precision fixturing or machine tools
to manufacture, hold or test products during their fabrication
- Making punches, dies, steel rule dies and
die sets
