Complementary Manufacturing Processes

Recommended Prerequisites

Structure and properties of materials: basic notions about chemical bonding, atomic structure and properties of matter.

Material Science: Comprehensive knowledge of the nature of different types of materials, including accurate and quantitative knowledge of the properties of each material. These must include metallic and non-metallic materials.

Manufacturing Processes: basic knowledge about materials processing technologies, including broader knowledge on forming of metallic materials and, machining, casting and welding.

Teaching Methods

The teaching methods adopted aim to convey the essential knowledge about the application of manufacturing processes in the production of engineering components. The face-to-face classes are delivered by specialists in the key topics, who teach the basics and stimulate discussion of their importance for future MSc, establishing the relationship between the product and the technology. Classes are complemented with visits to industries where the addressed technologies are available.

Learning Outcomes

The objective is to provide skills in the field of manufacturing processes, enabling students to gain a broader understanding of the different technologies available for the production of engineering components at various dimensional scales and production volumes. This knowledge should give students the ability to select and integrate different manufacturing processes, taking into account not only performance requirements but also economic and sustainability aspects.
