The main objective of the course is to provide students with strong theoretical knowledge on designing technological methods of products production, including computer aided design and manufacturing, but also to enable them apply knowledge in specific cases in real time situations.

After successful completion of course obligations, students will be acquainted with (1) methodology to design technological processes for manufacturing processes, (2) basic computer based software for design of technological processes, (3) basics computer support in the production and (4) pass the course in CNC programming and trained for making CNC program for a particular type of analysis.

The structure of the product realization process. Documentation of production, technological documentation. Design methods of working procedures. The structure of a design procedures. The analysis of the subject, the process of determining the type of work. Analysis on the surface, determining the necessary processing interventions, group interventions and definition of the required operations. The choice of places to perform the operation. Determination methods of positioning and clamping objects on the machine, accessories for positioning and clamping. The choice of tools for performing operations. Determination of work regime. Determination of work time. Automation of work processes, computer aided design of working procedures (CAPP). Production automation, Computer aided manufacturing (CAM). The basics of programming numerically controlled machines (CNC machine).

Lectures will provide students with the theoretical framework to design work procedures, including computer aided design and manufacturing. During exercises students will have opportunity to see industrial examples of technological processes for different types of products. Also, students will be given to individually develop technology process for concrete product described by drawing, in accordance with methodology described in the lectures. In particular, students will take course in CNC programming and will be trained for making CNC program for a particular type of processing.
