Product Design and Manufacturing (5 ECTS)

Objective

The student can define the major manufacturing methods of metal structures, chip removal and other machining methods, bending and welding. The student can present the basics of measuring techniques required in manufacturing and knows how to use measuring instruments.
The student is able to produce plane and section drawings and layout drawings by computer aided technology (CAD) following the most central rules of scaled documents. In addition, the student is able to create three dimensional models by means of 3D CAD technology.
