Description


Optional subject framed in the block of the mention in Intelligent Manufacturing in Industry 4.0, oriented to the applications of the additive manufacture for the manufacture of pieces and to the application of new materials in different industrial sectors.

Additive manufacturing brings 3D printing technology to industrial production thanks to new materials and new technologies and offers an alternative methodology to that of traditional subtractive manufacturing methods.

In the subject the different existing technologies are studied, it works with tools of simulation of the behavior of pieces manufactured with advanced materials and with different technologies. And also the repercussion of the use of these technologies in the processes of design and manufacture of pieces. This part corresponds to 4,8 ECTS credits.

A specific part of the course is dedicated to smart fabrics, their characteristics, the associated design and production processes and their applications in different sectors: fashion, sports, health, cars, etc. This part corresponds to 1,2 ECTS credits.

Evaluation system


The evaluation is based on a final exam and the evaluation of the practical work developed.

The final exam will consist of theoretical questions and one or more problems. This exam weighs 30% on the final grade.

The practical work is done as a team but it is identified which parts each member has done. The evaluation is done taking into account both the content and the presentation. The set of practical works has a weight of 70% in the final grade.

Attendance at class sessions and the delivery of the corresponding reports of the activities developed is a necessary condition for the evaluation of the subject.
