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.

 

Learning outcomes


At the end of the course the student must be able to:

LO11. Understand the basic concepts of digital manufacturing and know the basics of additive manufacturing processes (CE13, CE14, CE20).

LO12. Be able to design products for additive printing and generate files for their manufacture (CE9, CE20, CE25).

LO13. Know the various types of machines for additive manufacturing and know how to select the most suitable for a specific application (CE13, CE20, CE25).

LO14. Know the basics of technical fabrics and smart fabrics, as well as existing types, their characteristics and applications (CE24, CE25).

LO15. Know and understand the basics of design and manufacturing processes with smart fabrics (CE24, CE25).

Working methodology


The course consists of 4 hours a week of face-to-face classes in the classroom (large group), where the theoretical contents will be developed and practical exercises and problems will be solved, and 20 hours per course of practical classes (small group).

In the practical classes, projects will be developed, two per group, related to the design of pieces with additive manufacturing and the application of smart fabrics.

Whenever deemed appropriate, activities of a completely optional nature will be made available to students to help them prepare and prepare for those of a compulsory nature.

Collect information for individual cumulative assessment

For each activity, teachers will report on the particular rules and conditions that govern them. This information will be communicated in the physical classroom and / or published in the virtual classroom.

One-on-one activities presuppose the student's commitment to carry them out individually. All activities in which the student does not fulfill this commitment regardless of their role (origin or destination) will be considered suspended.

Likewise, the activities to be carried out in groups presuppose the commitment on the part of the students who make it up to carry them out within the group. All activities in which the group has not respected this commitment regardless of its role (origin or destination) will be considered suspended. The responsibility for the results of the work lies with the group, and not with the individuals who make it up. In any case, teachers can, based on the information they have, customize the grade for each member of the group.

Any undelivered activity will be considered scored with zero points. Failure to attend a session automatically excludes from the evaluation of the corresponding activity, being considered scored with zero points.

It is optional for teachers to accept or not deliveries outside the deadlines indicated. In the event that these late deliveries are accepted, it is up to the teacher to decide whether to apply a penalty and the amount thereof.

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 25% 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 75% 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.
