2 topics across all disciplines.
Welding distortion and fixturing
Why weld shrinkage moves a part in three different ways, how a fixture locates rather than forces, why sheet metal needs N-2-1 instead of 3-2-1, and how weld sequence is used to make distortions cancel.
Locating schemes and functional build
Reference point systems and master locating points, why the same holes must be used from press shop to final assembly, and how functional build differs from building every part to nominal.
