Objectives: This course aims at providing students with the fundamental concepts, both theoretical and practical, to analyse manufacturing processes related to plastic conformation technologies and machining technologies and how to use these concepts in order to develop products and tools.
By the end of the semester, students should: (1) be familiar with the fundamental characteristics of manufacturing processes, their capabilities and limitations, as well as their applicability to create a product; (2) be familiar with machine-tools: how to operate them, their components, and their different types; (3) be familiar with the tools used in each process, how to operate them and their main components; (4) be capable of defining processes related to the production of different components/ products and corresponding stages of production.
METAL FORMING MODULE - Introduction to manufacturing processes; Classification of forming processes; Equipment used in forming processes. Technological processes: Forging, Rolling, Extrusion, Blanking, Fine Blanking, Deep Drawing, Bending. Product and Tool Design.
MACHINING MODULE - Machining by chip removal; main characteristics. Conventional machine tools: lathe, drilling machine, milling machine, boring machine and grinder. Notions about work planning. CNC machine tools; turning centres and machining centres. Cutting phenomena: kinetics, cutting parameters and chip control, chip formation, cutting forces and cutting power. Cutting tools: geometrical characterization, materials and wear and tool life. Cutting fluids. Surface finish.
Presentation of the fundamental principles of the technological processes; applications and study of components. Solution of problems; case studies; presentation of technological videos; visits to the workshop and other laboratories to see demonstrations of the processes.
METAL FORMING and MACHINING modules will function in a parallel way, having 1.5 hours per weak each.

According to Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP
FM = A*0.7 + B*0.3
FM: Final Mark
A: Average grade of the two written tests;
B: Assignment grade;
Each written test consist of two equally weighted parts including PLASTIC FORMING and MACHINING.
The group work will be mandatory and it includes written report, oral presentation and discussion.
The recovering test can be partial (1st or 2nd test topics) or total and its classification prevails if it is higher than the previously obtained.
An exam based on all the themes that have been taught.
An individual assignment with a written report and oral presentation about a topic chosen by the professors.
FM= A*0.7 + B*0.3
FM: Final Mark
For students with a positive mark in the group assignment, in the present or in the last academic year, this mark will be used for B, with no need of a new assignment.
An exam based on the themes that have been taught is foreseen, but following the same procedure of the recovering exams (1st part, 2nd part or total).
