• LMECA 1451 (Mechanical Manufacturing)

• Manufacturing process selection
• Complements on machining and computer assisted processing
• Additive manufacturing
• Non-conventional machining processes
• Virtual manufacturing

• AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
• AA2.1, AA2.4, AA2.5
• AA3.2, AA3.3
• AA4.1, AA4.2, AA4.3, AA4.4
• AA5.1, AA5.5, AA5.6
• AA6.1, AA6.4

More precisely, at the end of the course, the student will be capable to :

• Choose a manufacturing process for a given workpiece using quantifiable criteria
• Choose optimal cutting conditions (machines, forces, tools, ')
• Perceive the interest of computational tools for manufacturing.
• Evaluate the interest of additive manufacturing in comparison to classical processing methods
• Pose hypothesis for the numerical modelling of manufacturing
• Translate the geometry of a workpiece in manufacturing operations
• Communicate their needs to the technicians un a manufacturing plant.

• Projects are part of the evaluation
• Oral exam during the exam session

• Magistral courses
• Three projects (process selection, computer assisted manufacturing, additive manufacturing FDM)
• Plant visits

•  Manufacturing process selection : selection strategy, project of process selection.
• Complements on machining and computer assisted processing: cutting forces, automatisation, Mastercam programming project and realization on machine.
• Additive manufacturing: processes, process selection criteria, metallurgical quality of the workpieces, project on free workpiece in polymer produced by FDM (Fused deposition modelling)
• Non-conventional machining processes: electro-erosion, laser cutting, water cutting.
• Virtual manufacturing: Hypothesis of finite elements calculations, practical applications case study. 

• Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, M.F. Ashby, Butterworth Heinemann.
• Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, S. Kalpakjian, S.R. Schmid, Pearson.
• Manufacturing processes and equipement, G. Tlusty, Prentice Hall.
