Course content

Primary shaping and metal forming:

  • The most important processes of machining manufacturing technologies will be explained in detail and in an understandable manner.
  • Shaping and forming applications will be demonstrated, based on practical examples.
  • Technical and economic criteria for the selection of the correct shaping and forming manufacturing processes are presented. Relevant calculations are taught via examples and exercises.

Technical drawing, CAD:

  • The application of a CAD system is taught to draw and create three-dimensional models of engineering components and assemblies.
  • Design for manufacture is explained in detail.
  • Presentation of symbolic and simplified representation of dimensioning, tolerances, signs of machining finish, surface quality requirements.
  • Extraction of technical drawings conforming to applicable standards.

 

 

Learning outcomes

Production Technology:

  •  The students can name the most important primary shaping and metal forming technologies and to select the correct manufacturing processes for typical engineering components.
  • The students know the most important basics of primary shaping and metal forming.
  • Given specific economic parameters, the students can plan primary shaping and metal forming manufacturing steps and can calculate the relevant manufacturing costs.
  • The students can name the function, application and limits of further manufacturing processes such as eroding, water jet cutting, laser machining, coating, joining, changing material properties.

 Technical drawing, CAD:

  •  Students can model engineering parts and components in a CAD system.
  • Students can create complete technical drawings of engineering components using a CAD system. The students have the ability to interpret such technical drawings.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
  • Lecture with practical work
