Course content
The aim of the course is to equip students with the knowledge and skills required for the effective design and manufacture of tools and jigs that increase the productivity and quality of production processes. Lecture outline 1. Basic terminology in tool design 2. Static and kinematic geometry of the cutting edge, cutting edge diagrams 3. Selection of tool material, surface treatments 4. Tool design elements and manufacturing technology 5. Modern turning tools - conventional vs. 3D printing 6. Modern milling tools I - conventional vs. 3D printing 7. Modern milling tools II - conventional vs. 3D printing 8. Modern Holemaking Tools I - Conventional vs. 3D Printing 9. Modern Holemaking Tools II - Conventional vs. 3D Printing 10. Slotting tools 11. Preparations for modern manufacturing technologies I 12. Preparations for modern manufacturing technologies II 13. Future trends in fixtures and tooling Practice: 1.-2. Design of the initial tool surface 3.-6. Design, calculation and construction of a turning knife with VBD 7.-13. Design, calculation and construction of a rotary tool with VBD
