MG1026 Manufacturing Technology 6.0 credits
In the course you will study the most common manufacturing processes and systems used in industry.
Numerically controlled machine tools are important components of a modern manufacturing company. You will use these machines in activities throughout the design, programming, rigging, test drive and manufacturing of a steel component.
Other areas covered in the course are engineering drawings as a means of communication, common polymer materials, basic metrology techniques used to verify the function and quality, the technical characteristics of surfaces and surface treatment.
