The course is administrated by

Institutt for industriell teknologi

Type of course

The course may be taken as a single subject

Course contents

Comprehensive consideration of both basic terms, relations, and the whole of the topic as well as actual research in the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to generate data-integrated holisms of close-to-manufacturing engineering design, process and operations planning, of manufacturing and quality engineering. Computer aided geometric modelling and production engineering optimisation of both products and the corresponding manufacturing processes. Mathematical basics for product modelling, exemplary skills in using advanced CAD/CAM software systems to generate 3D-CAD models for free-form objects, information transfer from CAD- to quality-assured product models. The main topics in this course will include:

Engineering product specification
Computer aided engineering drawing and orthographic projection
CAD- Basic part modelling
CAD 3D Geometric modelling (solid and surface)
Tooling and fixturing
Numerical control programming
Computer aided manufacturing based virtual and rapid prototyping
Design for manufacturing and assembly
Product life cycle management

Admission requirements

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: A relevant undergraduate bachelor Engineering programme with minimum 30 credits Mathematics/statistics topics

Application code: 9371

Prerequisite(s)

Basic knowledge in computer science, mathematics and industrial engineering at bachelor level or equivalent knowledge.

Objective of the course

This course will provide the students with the needed material for understanding the principles of Computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) systems. The course offers an introduction at intermediate level as well as practical abilities in the application of components and interdisciplinary relations that emerge when modern information and communication technologies (ICT) are utilised for the further industrialisation supported by computer-aided engineering tools particularly towards manufacturing of products in goods industries. Especially emphasised topics are computer aided design and manufacturing of free-form object fabrication, and how to get it done with modern subtractive chip-cutting and additive Rapid Prototyping, Manufacturing and Tooling processes. Based on the product life cycle, it will be focused on building up effective process chains from geometric modelling phases via product data management to the finished product including close-to-manufacturing quality assurance to realise customer-personalised products in Closed Quality Loop Manufacturing systems.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

Distinguish the product specification methods
Draw engineering design and orthographic projection
Construct 2D and 3D part models
Distinguish different computer aided design modelling methods
Construct process plans for 3D geometric parts
Recall the need of design and manufacturing integration.
