Recommended prerequisites: Manufacturing-basic level; classical manufacturing method as operational sketch, important parameters of the methods, physical and chemical basics.

Targeted learning outcomes: Presentation of the manufacturing process as part of production environment, regarding logistics, quality assurance, productivity, process security and engineering. Very important is the consideration of the process chain and the optimisation as to quality and productivity. In depth knowledge about CNC-programming will bring up problems and effects of integrated data storage. The typically process chain being CNC-turning starts with the generation of geometric data from CAD or for laser or jet cutting with the CNC-programming. Students learn how to identify problems of the automatically programming of complex operations (such as milling). The first step for this is to find a mathematical model for the manufacturing process.

Content: Advanced manufacturing methods are part of a highly automated production environment. They ensure high quality and productivity with only a small need of manpower. But, on the other hand, there is an increased need of highly qualified personnel designing such processes. Information technology is an integrated part of the design, simulation and implementation of the manufacturing methods. Students will learn how CNC-machines and robots work as manufacturing and logistical unit.

Classroom work 1. Lecture classes during which the main topics of the subject will be

dealt with. Lecture classes are the most efficient way to transmit information and they allow the teacher to stress the important points of the subject and to present the most appropriate ways to study.

2. Classroom practice consisting in solving theoretical problems related to the contents presented in the lectures. This kind of practice is a good complement to lecture classes, both to allow students to understand the subject and to teach them how to solve exercises.

3. Computer practice consisting in resolution of problems by means of Finite-Element-Analysis software tools. During these sessions, students can show their skill in using software programmes to solve problems.

4. Tutorial sessions are also an efficient complement to lectura clases. They provide direct contact between the teacher and the student during which the latter can express his doubts freely and have them clearly solved.

5. Evaluation will be carried out through oral presentations of a team work and a final written exam.

Personal work

1. Team work. Some projects will be suggested in order to have them developed by groups of two students. These projects will require using both manual calculations and FEA software tools.

2. Individual work during which the student studies the concepts taught during the classes.
