Training objectives

Knowledge about the concurrent engineering methodologies that lead to the simultaneous development of product-process-production system. Knowledge about production systems and the basic programming of the machining cycles. Knowledge about the methods applied to computer-based manufacturing (CAD-CAM).
At the end of the course the student will be able to operate evaluations on processes, machines, equipment and the related production cycles and to determine the operating parameters necessary for the realization of simple products.

Prerequisites

Attend the course “Production Technologies”. Knowledge about main production processes: material forming, machining, assembly.

Course programme

The course includes 60 hours of frontal lessons as well as visits to industrial companies where students take vision of real production runs.

Fundamentals about product and production (15 hours). Product and process Design: design and develop a new product from the initial idea to finite product. Fundamentals of 2D and 3D design. Part programming. Part machining (CAD-CAM). Product and process planning.

Main machining processes (12 hours): cutting, turning, boring, reaming; machine tools; plants; robots.

Manufacturing cycles (25 hours) Numerical Control Part Programming: introduction, point-to-point cycles, continuous controlling, axes controlling. Fundamentals of Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Milling machines and their programming. Competitive aspects of manufacturing: costs, time.

Final testing Cycles (8 hours): traditional methods for NDT and DT; innovative control techniques (Computed Tomography and Contamination Management)

Didactic methods

60 hours of frontal lesson. Powerpoint slides with images and short videos. Presentation of industrial cases; practical application during lesson.

Visits to production facilities aimed to inspect the processing cycles applied in different industries: machining, forging, sheet and and bulk metal deformation, assembly and packaging.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam is written, with n. 10 questions and 3 points each and an eleventh question for laude. The final result is expressed in thirtieth, calculated as the sum of points obtained in all 11 questions.
The exam aims to verify the achievement of learning objectives:
· knowledge of machining manufacturing processes, and relative manufacturing cycles;
· knowledge of traditional machine tools and CNC,
· ability to define and design simple sequences of production cycles, wich consider the specifications described in product design.
