DISPLAY Challenges Static Welding/ Fabrication Projects Creative Metal Fabrication Questions? Please contact Lee Weisnict at: Email: [email protected] Phone: 920-498-7114 TRADES & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES Student capacity: No limit Competition is metal fabrications that are designed and built for decoration or aesthetic. Example: an end table, decorative art, a metal sculpture, etc. Let your mind run wild! Students will be judged on creativity, quality of fabrication, looks, and workmanship involved (i.e. a pre-drawn water jetted figure welded to a stand versus something that took planning and skill to make). A sketch of the item is required. The sketch will not be judged on its own, but will be included in the overall judging of fabrications. A bill of materials (breakdown of materials/parts) with receipt, periodic documentation (pictures), and a quick summary on how you came up with the idea are also required. Functional Metal Fabrication Questions? Please contact Lee Weisnict at: Email: [email protected] Phone: 920-498-7114 TRADES & ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES Student capacity: No limit Competition is metal fabrications that are designed and built to produce a function. Example: can crusher, snowmobile trailer, grill, wood splitter, etc. Students will be judged on practically of the item, creativity, quality of fabrication, and workmanship put into the fabrication. Functional metal fabrications will also be required to have a blueprint with orthographic projection (front, top, side views) and a sketch (isometric or oblique). Blueprint will not be judged on its own, but will be included in the overall judging of the fabrications. A bill of materials (breakdown of materials/parts) with receipt, periodic documentation (pictures), and a quick summary on how you came up with the idea are also required. 20
