Main Aims/Objectives
In this course, manufacturing technologies for each group of materials will be studied aiming for the development of machine-made products which can perform well in terms of price, appearance as well as efficiency.
Specific Aims/Objectives
- Study of polymeric composites processes.
- Study of plastics processes.
- Study of metalic materials production tecnologies.
- Study of connection materials processes.
Skills to be acquired
- Identification and comparison of main properties of polymers and ceramics
- Efficient use of materials databases
-Metalic, polymeric and ceramic comparison and selection.
- Manufacturing processes selection
- Finishing, coatings and claddings comparison.
Teaching Procedures
Materials and manufacturing processes selection exercises will be based on case studies. Particular attention will be focused towards the use of materials databases. Videos of manufacturing processes will be shown.
