Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to mark and cut out sheets for composite use.The marking out/cutting out of sheets used for composites can be significantly different to the marking out/cutting out of other materials, including metals. Sheets used in composite fabrication often have significant directionality which must be considered and as a result of this composite design often includes different physical properties in one direction to another and so sheets must be marked and cut to align the required directional properties of the product with those of the sheets used in the fabrication.Where the selection and use of hand tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools should also be selected.Where the selection and use of power tools is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine product requirements
  • 1.1 Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • 1.2 Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.3 Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
  • 1.4 Determine requirements of sheet material to be used from specifications, job sheets or work instructions and customer requests
  • 1.5 Identify process to be used to fabricate product
2 Develop geometric shape
  • 2.1 Develop lay flats for regular solid rectilinear shapes
  • 2.2 Develop lay flats for regular curved/circular shapes
  • 2.3 Develop lay flats for transition pieces
  • 2.4 Develop lay flats for complex 3-D shapes
3 Orient required shape to suit directional differences of sheet
  • 3.1 Identify directional properties in sheet
  • 3.2 Identify sheet-related directional requirements of product
  • 3.3 Identify orientations and alignments of lay flats with sheet
4 Mark out and cut sheet
  • 4.1 Identify and control hazards
  • 4.2 Place lay flat on sheet and arrange lay flats to minimise waste
  • 4.3 Prevent lay flat moving and mark sheet, as required, using lay flat
  • 4.4 Cut sheet to meet requirements
  • 4.5 Identify typical problems and take appropriate remedial action
  • 4.6 Perform final verification to meet product requirements
5 Store templates/lay flats
