General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Specific entry requirements
The same as for the programme that owns the course.Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.
Aim
The course aims to provide comprehensive knowledge of industrial manufacturing, to provide an understanding of the connection between product design and costs of manufacturing, and to provide basic knowledge of industrial manufacturing processes for mass production. The course will also provide the student orientation of processes for prototype and short series manufacturing, including processes for 3D printing.
Furthermore, the course aims to highlight manufacturing processes role in the product development chain. The future engineer should possess knowledge of tools for process selection including cost analysis, DFMA - Design for Manufacturing and Assembly and process planning: CAM - Computer-aided manufacturing.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Present a system perspective regarding industrial manufacturing
- Understand the correlation between product design and manufacturing costs
- Describe the most important manufacturing processes for metallic and polymeric materials
- Screen and choose between different manufacturing processes with regard to cost and quality, including methods for single part and short series manufacturing using methods such as 3D-printing
-Adapt product design to manufacturing conditions
-Apply the stages from computer-aided product design to manufacturing of a part
Content
The course highlights the various parts of a process chain required to produce finished components and products with specific properties. Understanding of the interaction manufacturing process-materials-design is important for instance for process selection and manufacturing adaptation (DFM and DFA). The basics of different manufacturing processes are presented, analysed and trained. Areas which are covered in the course: - The role of manufacturing processes in different phases of product development, including sustainability aspects - Casting equipment and processes, for example for making of housings, design and material aspects - Forming processes for metals: Sheet metal forming, extrusion, forging, etc. - Powder metallurgy - Machining processes of metallic and polymeric materials such as turning, milling and drilling - Basic processes for polymeric materials such as extrusion and injection molding - Joining Technology - Prototype and short series manufacturing with for example 3D printing - Screening and selection of manufacturing processes with regard to e.g. geometrical shape, tolerances and surface finish - DFA, Design for Assembly and DFM Design for Manufacturing - Introduction to NC Technology - Computer-aided preparation (CAM) and demonstration of manufacture of part - Introduction to additive manufacturing and training of its basics from design to manufacturing of partOrganisation
The course includes lectures, laboratory and computer exercises, and project assignments. The lab deals with machining. The computer exercise incl. computer-aided preparation (CAM) of manufacturing.Literature
