Course Goal / Objective
The main objective of this course is to introduce students, both theoretically and practically, to modern technologies used in the production of complex geometries and high-precision parts where traditional manufacturing methods are insufficient. The course covers the working principles and application areas of current manufacturing methods such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) integration, additive manufacturing (3D printers), high-speed machining (HSM), electro-erosion (EDM), laser cutting, and water jet cutting. The goal is for students to gain the ability to analyze manufacturing processes in accordance with Industry 4.0 standards, correctly match materials and methods, and develop innovative solutions to technical problems encountered in modern manufacturing systems.
Course Content
The course thoroughly covers modern manufacturing methods such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) integration, precision machining, electro-erosion (EDM), laser, plasma, and water jet cutting technologies. Furthermore, it emphasizes additive manufacturing (3D printers), advanced programming of CNC machining centers, and the role of industrial robots in production lines, which form the basis of digital transformation in industry. The goal is to equip students with the skills to analyze and implement production processes compliant with Industry 4.0 standards.
