Aims
The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to experience the process
of carrying out a design to manufacture project. It integrates the two subject areas of
computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM).
Learning Outcomes
1.
Undertake a systematic design procedure to progress a design from the brief to a solution
2.
Appraise a design solution and prepare for its manufacture
3.
Use CAD/CAM systems during the design process and to prove manufacture
4.
Produce components with the aid of computer assisted manufacture, to specification using safe working practices
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Design process: conceptual, embodiment and final design stages
Machining processes: Turning and milling, cutting tool selection, determination of machining parameters.
Applying tolerances and dimensions.
3D CAD modelling; CAD/CAM data transfer; computer assisted part programming; cutter path simulation; computer aided machining and inspection.
Additional Information:The module aims to build on and apply the skills
developed in the level 4 Engineering Practice module and enable
students to apply a systematic approach to the design process.
