Buyken Metal Products, AJAC host Manufacturing Day for Kent, Wash., high school students

Buyken Metal Products, a provider of sheet metal forming, stamping, and fabrication services in Kent, Wash., and the Seattle-based Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee (AJAC) are partnering to celebrate Manufacturing Day on Oct. 3 at Buyken’s facility in Kent, Wash.

Students will have the opportunity to build a metal airplane while they tour each area of the Buyken facility involved in design, production, and inspection processes. AJAC, a state-funded aerospace and advanced manufacturing apprenticeship program, will invite students to climb aboard its Advanced Inspection and Manufacturing Mobile Training Unit (AIM-MTU) and design their own key chain using CAD software. They also will observe how a key chain is printed on a 3-D printer.
