To give the student the ability to independently choose the most suitable processes to manufacture given products. En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:

• relate material properties, design and functionality with the traditional manufacturing processes
• characterize processes and groups of processes in order to determine realistic materials, geometric possibilities, tolerances and surfaces
• general knowledge about process possibilities, tolerances and surfaces
• identify which processes will be relevant for manufacture of a given component
• identify relevant processes in a given production situation
• determine appropriate parameters for machining operations such as feeds and speeds, tool life, etc
• determine appropriate parameters for forming operations such as minimum bend radius, spring-back, etc
• apply the above objectives through two written assignments (see below) to a specific product or products and consider the advantages and limitations of these choices

Metal casting, forming and shaping processes, material-removal processes, joining processes, advanced manufacturing processes, rapid prototyping. Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, the seventh edition, 2014, Serope Kalpakjian and Steven Schmid. Prentice Hall. There will be two assignments based on manufacturing applications and seven sets of questions from the course book to be submitted according to a schedule provided at the beginning of each semester. The overall mark will be calculated from a weighting of 30% for the set questions and 70% for the two assignments. 29. januar, 2020
