In the course, you will study common manufacturing processes and systems and get an insight into the complete production process. Numerically controlled machine tools are central components in a modern manufacturing company. You will have the opportunity to use such machines all the way from the design, programming, rigging and test run, to the manufacturing of parts. Other areas that are treated in the course are engineering drawings as a means of communication, common polymer materials, characteristics of surfaces and basic industrial metrology techniques used to verify function and quality.
