Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Content
- 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.
Teaching methods
- Magistral courses
- Three projects (process selection, computer assisted manufacturing, additive manufacturing FDM)
- Plant visits
Evaluation methods
- Projects are part of the evaluation
- Oral exam during the exam session
