Course detail
Simultaneous Engineering
FSI-9SIN Acad. year: 2025/2026 Both semester
Fundamentals of team work. Cooperation between supplier and customer(preparation of a concept of solution, casting design and its prototype, batch production). Multimedia communications. Rapid prototyping (a quick manufacture of a prototype using one of the RP methods, i.e. selective sintering,stereolitography, laminating,etc). Simulation software programs aimed at optimizing the final product (used during casting pouring, solidification and cooling).
Technological characteristics of the design (Designing castings to avoid foundry defects).

Aims
The course familiarises students with basic principles of new philosophy
cooperation customer-supplier based on the teamwork approach
from the first idea up to the final realisation of the product.
The main aim is to provide students with knowledge
of the latest communication possibilities between a customer and supplier,
as well as with possible ways of an effective cooperation using the rapid
prototyping methods,computer-aided simulation and the like.
Knowledge of a multimedia communication , rapid prototyping
using simulation programs,etc.
