lecture slides
- Manufacturing process selection
- Complements on machining and computer assisted processing
- Additive manufacturing
- Non-conventional machining processes
- Virtual manufacturing
In consideration of the reference table AA of the program "Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering", this course contributes to the development, to the acquisition and to the evaluation of the following experiences of learning:
- 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.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
- 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.
