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
