Description
This ECUE provides knowledge about different manufacturing processes (machining, casting, forging, plastics processing, etc.).
It also enables students to learn the classic rules for drawing mechanical parts in line with the most common methods of obtaining raw materials.
Based on specifications and/or a design drawing, students must be able to: choose a manufacturing or assembly process by producing the drawings associated with the process.
They must also be able to produce a prototype using traditional machining or CNC "rapid prototyping" techniques, and check specifications during and after machining. They will also learn about casting and welding during a practical workshop.
Finally, it helps to make future designers aware of the problems encountered in the engineering department when producing parts from a design drawing.
