Course-PM
MTT031 Manufacturing engineering lp2 HT19 (7,5 hp)
The course is given by the Department of Industrial and Materials Science.
Aims
The course aims to provide comprehensive knowledge of industrial manufacturing, to provide basic knowledge of industrial manufacturing processes for mass production. The course will also provide the student orientation of processes for prototype and short series manufacturing, including processes for 3D printing.
Furthermore, the course aims to highlight manufacturing processes role in the product development chain. The future engineer should possess knowledge of tools for process selection including cost analysis, DFMA - Design for Manufacturing and Assembly and process planning: CAM - Computer-aided manufacturing.
Learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
- Present a system perspective regarding industrial manufacturing
- Describe the most important manufacturing processes for metallic and polymeric materials
- Screen and choose between different manufacturing processes with regard to cost and quality, including methods for single part and short series manufacturing using methods such as 3D-printing
- Adapt product design to manufacturing conditions
- Apply the stages from computer-aided product design to manufacturing of a part
Contents
The course highlights the various parts of a process chain required to produce finished components and products with specific properties.
Understanding of the interaction manufacturing process-materials-design is important for instance for process selection and manufacturing adaptation (DFM and DFA). The basics of different manufacturing processes are presented, analyzed and trained.
Areas which are covered in the course:
- The role of manufacturing processes in different phases of product development, including sustainability aspects
- Casting equipment and processes, for example for making of housings, design and material aspects
- Forming processes for metals: Sheet metal forming, extrusion, forging, etc.
- Powder metallurgy
- Machining processes of metallic and polymeric materials such as turning, milling and drilling
- Basic processes for polymeric materials such as extrusion and injection molding
- Joining Technology
- Prototype and short series manufacturing with for example 3D printing (metals and polymers)
- DFA, Design for Assembly and DFM Design for Manufacturing
- Computer-aided preparation (CAM) and demonstration of manufacture of part
- Introduction to additive manufacturing and training of its basics from design to manufacturing of part

The course includes lectures, laboratory work (casting simulations, computer aided manufacturing, demonstrations on milling, demonstration on injection and extruding of polymers, and 3D printing), and exercises (polymers).
Examination
Written exam as well as approved lab, and computer exercises. Passing the course requires approved written exam and laboratory work.
The written exam is based mainly on materials from teaching, but also from assigned literatures. Make sure to register the exam in due time according to what is written at the Study Portal. Permitted aids are provided formula sheets and a Chalmers approved calculator. The grading will be as follows: 3 > 40%, 4 > 60%, 5 > 80%.
Passing the exam qualifies for 6 credit units. Participating in all laboratory sessions and getting approved qualifies for 1.5 credit units.
Laboratory sessions
Booking of labs can be done at Canvas course homepage (better do them soon!). It is important to show up at booked times! Note that you must prepare yourself in advance in order to clarify the lab within the lab time and get approved. Please be there on time!
Lab1 (4h): casting simulation (led by PA, supported by ES&AN);
Lab2 (two parts, 2h+2h): computer aided manufacturing (led by FH&DG);
Lab3 (1h): demonstration of milling (led by HM);
Lab4 (0.5h): demonstration of injection and extruding of polymers (led by LF);
Lab5 (4h): demonstration of 3D printing of polymer (led by CP)
