Manufacturing Processes

This ECUE provides knowledge about various manufacturing processes (machining, casting, forging, plastics processing, etc.).

It also allows students to learn the standard rules for drafting mechanical parts in accordance with the most common methods of producing raw parts.

Based on a set of specifications and/or a design drawing, students must be able to: select a manufacturing or assembly process and create the corresponding drawing for that process.

They must also be able to produce a prototype using traditional machining methods or a “rapid prototyping” CNC machine, and verify specifications during and after machining. They will also gain hands-on experience with casting and welding during a lab session.

Finally, it helps future designers understand the challenges faced by the production engineering department when manufacturing parts based on a design drawing.

Have a basic understanding of the following shaping processes:

• Steel Industry
• Cutting
• Machining
• Foundry
• Forge
• Welding
• Additive Manufacturing
• Plastics Processing

Technical drawing. 

Recommended prerequisites*: Basic knowledge of materials, designations, etc.

This ECUE is evaluated by:
