Course detail
Construction of Production Machines II
FSI-G3S Acad. year: 2024/2025 Summer semester
This course complements and extends the knowledge of Construction of Production Machines I for machining difficult and non-metallic materials. These machine tools operate on different physical principles. We are talking about machining stone, carbon materials or wood. It will also be shown methods for rapid prototyping, using additive manufacturing methods. It mentioned the issue of Industry 4.0 with practical examples.

Entry knowledge
The expected knowledge is from the field of machine parts and machine mechanisms as well as from the field of basic principles of production machines construction. The student should be orientated in the field of chip machining technology.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The examination is written and oral.
Each part of the examination is evaluated with the score.
Based on the total score, an ECTS grade is assigned to students.
At the beginning of the semester, the student is assigned a multidisciplinary issue to solve. The student's solution is included in the joint assessment and is defended before the examiner on the exam day.
The lectures are not compulsory, but active attendance is recommended.
Aims
The task is to understand the basic principles in the construction of production machines for difficult-to-machine materials and additive production.
Graduates of the course will gain basic knowledge of additive technologies and basic knowledge of machines for machining difficult-to-machine materials.
