Produce jewellery metal masters
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit applies to the manufacture of jewellery master pattern(s) for jewellery reproduction, mainly by the hand held application of processes. Work would be mainly autonomous in a jewellery manufacturing environment.
Understanding the principles of casting/moulding/shrinkage and wax injection is required. General production processes used to finish the reproductions must be understood. Competency in this unit cannot be fully met without appropriate comparison to the finished production item.
Where machining is required as a major component of this manufacturing concept, then unit MEM07005C (Perform general machining) should be selected. The equipment used may include hand and power tools, lathes and non-CNC machines.
Where component(s) require preparation or manufacture by NC/CNC/CAD/CAM as an integral part of this process by the person working autonomously, the relevant competencies should be accessed.
If electro-deposition and/or electro-forming of metal is required, MEM07024B (Operate and monitor machine/process) or Unit MEM08003C (Perform electroplating operations) should also be selected.
This unit has dual status and is to be regarded as both a Specialisation band A unit and Specialisation band B unit for progression to C5 (AQF level V).
Band: A
Unit Weight: 4
This unit covers the manufacturing jewellery master pattern(s) for jewellery reproduction, mainly by hand held application of processes. It requires the application of precision measurement and hand-making/machine skills to a greater level than that required in Unit MEM19005B (Produce three-dimensional precision items).
