Objectives

This course unit aims to endow students with knowledge in the field of Industrial Technological Processes. This course unit comprises the manufacturing process of casting and the fundamental characteristics of rapid prototyping processes. It also comprises stock removal processes and corresponding tools.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of the semester, students should be capable of: 1. understanding the necessary concepts to perform a theoretical analysis of these processes 2. identifying equipments and terminology 3. identifying the name and the fundamental characteristics of casting and process and rapid prototyping and corresponding tools; 4. identifying the name and the fundamental characteristics of stock removal processes and corresponding tools 5. relating the different methods of manufacturing to reach machining sequences.
