Valid for: 2016/17
Decided by: Education Board E
Date of Decision: 2016-04-04

General Information

Main field: Technology.
Compulsory for: I3
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the activities and processes involved in industrial product realization. The course will provide deep knowledge of production activities, being an important part of product realization, such as different principles and methods to provide a selected raw material with desired shapes and properties, the importance of material choice whenchoosing a manufacturing method and design of manufacturing systems. The course also sheds light on aspects of sustainability in product realization.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• Master the fundamental nomenclature within the field of product realization and be able to describe central activities within the same field.
• be able to describe necessary considerations during material selection
• be able to describe the demands put on products or components from a production perspective
• be able to describe principles, properties, characteristics and limitations of different manufacturing processes
• be able to describe the influence on quality, production rate and disturbance sensibility by process parameters
• be able to describe the characteristics of different types of production and layouts
• to have an understanding about the demands that must be made on a manufacturing system regarding environment and recycling aspects

 

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to use the production realization nomenclature in written and oral form
• be able to identify a material selection influence on product realization
• be able to identifydemands critical for production, connected to products or components
• be able to select manufacturing methods under given technical and economic considerations
• be able to dimension central manufacturing methods starting from a given form, given quality and specific equipment
• understand the link between production performance and manufacturing costs
• be able to design a manufacturing system from individual manufacturing equipments (steps)
• be able to estimate the conditions and consequences for recycling of a product or component

 

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to estimate the conditions and consequences for recycling of a product or component
• be able to asses what manufacturing method that is most suitable to generate a given shape in a given material.

Contents

The course highlights the entire area of ​​product realization. The focus is directed towards the production part of the product realization chain. Initially the overall interaction and dependency between product and production is described, were e.g. choice of materials play a central role. While a material can give the desired appearance or function of a product it puts demands on, and in some cases limit the choice of production method. This is also highly dependent on the quality requirements of the product, where the material's behavior under production has a major impact. The choice of material is also affected by requirements or opportunities for recycling the product or material.

Central to the course is the description of the principle of different manufacturing methods and the quality achievable with these methods. The method groups that are treated in depth is plastic forming, machining and casting methods. Methods discussed more briefly are cutting, powder technology, polymer technology, non-mechanical, as well as grinding and polishing methods.

By combining several different manufacturing equipment a manufacturing system is designed. Various types of production layouts and its properties are treated, where the production system's performance is linked to the cost of manufacturing a component concludes with an overall illumination of the material in different products can be recycled into a material life cycle.
