Objective : To give the student the ability to independently choose the most suitable processes to manufacture given products.

Learning objectives:
A student who as fully met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- list material properties, design and functionality of the most common manufacturing processes
- characterize processes and groups of processes in order to determine realistic materials, geometric possibilities, tolerances and surfaces.
- ... general knowledge about process possibilities, tolerances and surfaces
- suggest which processes will be relevant for manufacture of a given component
- suggest relevant processes in a given production situation
Principal Content : Metal casting, forming and shaping processes, material-removal processes, joining processes and equipment for the above processes.
Teaching method : Distance teaching via www. Working individually (or in groups).
The course is based on the teaching material stated below. Discussions by email can be arranged.
