Acquiring basic knowledge in casting technologies and gaining basic knowledge in area of machining processes, and which are used in product design and selection of optimal methods and processes in manufacturing.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: name and describe basic casting processes; identify potential ways to improve manufacturability of cast components. Gained knowledge in machining technologies should enable designers of equipment and other devices to properly design products, and technologists to properly design phases and selection of optimal process parameters.

Overview of basic casting processes. Sand casting. Gravity die casting. High pressure die casting. Investment casting. Manufacturability analysis of cast products. Importance and application of cutting technologies. Description of cutting systems. Basics of cutting processes (chip forming process, productivity, quality and precision). Turning machining. Drilling machining. Milling machining. Grinding machining. Non-convention machining. Technological machining processes and assembly. Fixtures for machining and assembly. Measurement and control.

Interactively in form of lectures and laboratory practical exercises. Theoretical part is presented in lectures and it is followed by appropriate exampled contributing easier understanding of the subject content. Acquired knowledge is practically applied in laboratory practical classes using available laboratory equipment. Apart from lectures and practical classes, consultations are held regularly.
