Objectives

Objectives: This course aims at providing students with the fundamental concepts, both theoretical and practical, to analyse manufacturing processes related to metallic materials and how to use these concepts in order to develop products and tools, besides having the knowledge to perform the numerical modelling of proposed processes.

Learning outcomes and competences

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; (5) have the skills to perform the simulation of a proposed manufacturing process, to perform sensitivity analysis of numerical and process variables, to analyse obtained results and propose new solutions for optimization.
