Aim: To enable the students to understand the many problems in development and manufacturing of industrial products, in particular the interaction between choice of material, production methods, product design and manufacturing data.
Contents: By studying and dismantling a wellknown industrial product - a lawn mower, a bicycle gear, etc. - the students should:
a) Describe the various components regarding their function, choice of material and production method.
b) Calculate realistic prices for the components.
c) Prepare instructions for suitable assembly/disassembly of the product.
d) Suggest possible design changes for easier assembly/disassembly.
e) Evaluate the product from a life cycle and recycling point of view.
f) Discuss ways of process automation.
