Course contents *

The course is divided into five thematic sections:

• CNC machining, maching economics and quality control
• Design and analysis of manufacturing machines
• Advanced subjects for research-based studies
• Laboratory exercises
• Study visits to companies

Key concepts in the course are

• CNC machining
• Machining economics and productivity
• Quality control and measurement techniques
• Machine tool design and machine dynamics
• Advanced machining processes
• Additive manufacturing

Intended learning outcomes *

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

• analyse conventional (cutting) machining processes and selected advanced machining processes, regarding their applicability and technical adequacy in a given manufacturing environment
• interpret tolerances in engineering drawings and use this understanding to plan and carry out measurements of given engineering components
• measure and analyse the dynamic characteristics of the manufacturing system, i.e machine tools, cutting tools, workpiece, fixturing and cutting process, and their relation to quality and productivity
• analyse advanced additive manufacturing processes nd their potential for new opportunities
• do qualified economic calculations for conventionl machining processes, given specific preconditions for material, tools and productivity

Ethical approach *

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Supplementary information

Due to overlap, only one of the courses MG2009, MG2109 or MG2110 may be chosen.
