Content

NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by August 20th for the autumn semester.

Introduction to Subtractive and Additive Manufacturing Engineering, subtractive manufacturing [Metal cutting Principles, Cutting Tools and Operations, Machining Economics, computer aided manufacturing (CAM) and Computer Numerical Control (CNC): ISO programming and conversational programming (OKUMA and MAZATROL)], additive layer manufacturing (metal addtive manufacturing and welding fundamentals), Metrology [theoretical and practical aspects of Engineering measurement using coordinate measuring machines (CMM)], Statistical Process Control (SPC) and statistical quality control (SQC) methods, lean manufacturing and Six Sigma, Manufacturing lines and line balancing, robotics in manufacturing and fabrication systems.

Learning outcome

After completing this course, the student should be able to learn:

  • Statistical process and quality control techniques
  • Subtractive manufacturing techniques (Lathe and Milling)
  • Computer aided manufacturing (CNC programming 'ISO and conversational' programming)
  • Metrology (use of coordinate measuring machines CMM and other basic measurement techniques)
  • Additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing) and welding
  • Lean manufacturing principles
  • Manufacturing line analysis
  • Robotics in manufacturing and fabrication systems

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
