Course content

Formative manufacturing processes. Subtractive manufacturing processes. Additive and hybrid manufacturing processes. Assembly, material handling, fixturing. Basics of industrial automation, robotics, machine vision. Basics of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). Sustainability aspects of manufacturing technologies.

Learning outcome

After the course, the students are supposed to have knowledge of various classes of manufacturing processes and supportive technologies, as well as understanding of practical aspects of the operating principles of the studied technologies. The students shall be able to make choices on technology in a manufacturing plant. Injection molding, machining and additive manufacturing will be studied in a greater depth.

  • Knowledge of additive and hybrid manufacturing processes
  • Knowledge of assembly, material handling, and fixturing technologies
  • Knowledge of the basics of industrial automation, robotics, and machine vision
  • Knowledge of the sustainability aspects of manufacturing technologies

Skills

  • Can make choices on technology and manufacturing processes in a manufacturing plant
  • Can carry out development and research on manufacturing technology

General competence

  • Understand the basics of sustainable manufacturing technology
  • Can contribute to new thinking and innovation in the area of sustainable manufacturing technologies
  • Can apply his/her knowledge and skills in new areas in order to carry out advanced assignments and projects

Learning methods and activities

The course is based on seminars that combine lecturing/presentations and discussion within the topics covering the corresponding manufacturing processes and supportive technologies. The seminars will be organized on-campus, with the access being provided for the remote students via a web-conferencing system. The homework assignments are based on the provided literature, as well as on individual literature search. Part of the assignments will involve in-class presentations. In order to complete the coursework requirements, 60% of hand-ins must be approved. Mandatory presence on 60% seminars is also required. In case of less than 4 students, the course will be based on self-study.
