Overordnede kursusmål
This course is situated in the context of emerging micro/nano
technologies. Micro mechanical components play an increasing role
in micro systems. The use of metals, polymers and ceramics for
miniature components requires product development methods as well
as manufacturing technologies. Product dimension will range from
micrometre to millimetre. The attendees will have a view of the
complete product development from requirements and technology
possibilities to manufacturing and testing, in an industrial
perspective. Indeed it is now well known that micro/nanotechnology
is not only a matter of downscaling applications and methods.
After the course the attendees will:
- Be able to apply product development methodologies to micro
technology in general and to micro mechanical products in
particular
- Be able to choose and apply the most relevant process chains
given the requirements of micro mechanical systems
- Be able to select and use supporting technologies such as
metrology, handling and assembly in a micro technology context
- Moreover they will gain understanding of the complete product
development, emphasising on collaboration and integration.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
- Evaluate the effect on miniaturisation on the product
development process
- Design complex micro manufacturing process chains
- Characterise and evaluate single micro manufacturing
processes
- Evaluate micro product functionalities and characteristics
- Apply a set of formal design methods to miniaturised
components
- Apply metrology to micro scale components for decision making
purposes
- Participate in collaborative development activities
- Present decisions and results in terms of reports and oral
presentations
Kursusindhold
The course will focus on development and manufacture of micro
mechanical products in metal, polymer and ceramics. Multi
disciplinarity between state-of-the-art methods in product design,
development and micro/nano technologies will be the foundation of
the course development.
List of lecture topics:
Tooling technologies (micro cutting, micro EDM, electrochemical
deposition processes)
Replication techniques adapted to micro scale (Micro injection
moulding, micro forming, glass moulding)
Micro products functionalities (Micro products overview,
Microfluidic devices, Micro optical devices)
Metrology
Micro Handling and assembly
Bemærkninger
The course couples lectures and activities on micro manufacturing
technologies, on products solutions principles and also on design
methodology. The schedule tries to cover all aspects with balance
between pure manufacturing technologies and more product oriented
approaches.
