102334 - CONFORMATION PROCESSES

Subject type: Mandatory

Coordinator: Julián Horrillo Tello

Trimester: Third term

Credits: 4

The course provides students with a generic knowledge of the different forming processes that allow to transform the raw materials into finished parts in accordance with the specifications of the plans generated by the designers of machines and mechanisms.

Students will be trained to take into account the characteristics of these processes when designing parts and will learn to design and document the manufacturing processes as well as to calculate the most relevant parameters of each process and to determine the times and costs of manufacturing.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Select and design the appropriate manufacturing process for a mechanical component under technical and economic criteria.

Assess, using different methodologies, the manufacturing costs of each of the manufacturing processes studied.

Know the conventional machining machines.

Carry out numerical control programs for simple geometry parts using computer tools. 

Theoretical classes where the fundamentals of the subject will be exposed and doubts and questions of the students will be solved.

Practical classes where the works that the students will do will be considered and reviewed.

Individual and team work.

Face-to-face classes in the classroom (large group): the theoretical subject will be developed and examples, problems and practical cases will be carried out.

Practical classes (small groups): using laboratory equipment, there will be practice in the use of machine tools and in the design and documentation of the processes of forming parts, including the development of the corresponding numerical control programs.

Attendance at all learning activities is compulsory.

There will be a final exam, continuous assessment tests and practical work.

The grade of the course will be calculated with 0,3 Grade of practical work + 0,7 Maximum (continuous assessment grade, final exam grade)
