Subject aims and description
The subject as the second part of Design for Manufacture
aims to prepare students with further knowledge of design
of tooling, machinery and systems for quality production.
Tooling design for metalworking: economy and batch
quantity, relationship. Tool design for cold and hot forging,
and diecasting.
Quality and reliability: concept of quality, cost of quality.
Responsibility for quality. Statistical quality control, charting
by variables and attributes and sampling. Reliability -
principles and applications.
Computer aided design: CAD Systems, processing and
techniques. NC programming, kinematics and robotics.
