Detailed description of topics:

  • Introduction: survey of manufacturing processes, economics, environmental aspects.
  • Casting: mold making, lost and permanent molds, design aspects, process selection. Powder Metallurgy.
  • Forming: manufacturing properties of materials, massive deformation (rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing), sheet-metal forming (bending, spinning, deep drawing), dies/tools & machines.
  • Separation: shearing, cropping, dies and other tools, waterjet and laser cutting.
  • Cutting: fundamentals, tools & tool materials, processes (turning, hole making, milling, grinding, finishing).
  • Nontraditional machining: chemical, electrochemical and electrical discharge machining, high energy beam processing. Material incress techniques.
  • Quality: metrology, statistical methods, quality assurance.
  • Machine-tools, mechanization and flexible automation, numerical control.
  • Process planning: macro/micro process planning, fixturing, process selection and sequencing.
  • Cost calculation.
  • Design for Manufacturing.

Remarks (specific information about assessment, entry requirements, etc.):

  • There are regular computer tests added to the course.
  • The assessment consists of two parts: 1. computer, 2. written assessment.
  • There is an additional lecture a few days before the examination where students can ask questions.

Goals:

  • Knowledge of the various manufacturing processes and the corresponding terminology. Knowledge of process planning and solution of simple process planning problems.
  • Insight into process and material parameters, constraints to the design. Awareness of the influence of material properties, product shape and batch size on the selection of manufacturing processes.
  • Understanding the relation between design and manufacturing.

 

Computer use:
The course is supported by computer aided learning: computer tests to check the progress of students and computer exercises to learn to solve process planning problems.

Laboratory project(s):
See for laboratory practice wbtp109..

Design content:
The course provides basic manufacturing knowledge to obtain designs which can be realised without too high manufacturing costs.

Percentage of design: 50%
