MG1026 Manufacturing Technology 6.0 credits

In the course you will study the most common manufacturing processes and systems used in industry.

Numerically controlled machine tools are important components of a modern manufacturing company. You will use these machines in activities throughout the design, programming, rigging, test drive and manufacturing of a steel component.

Other areas covered in the course are engineering drawings as a means of communication, common polymer materials, basic metrology techniques used to verify the function and quality, the technical characteristics of surfaces and surface treatment.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

In the course you will study the most common manufacturing processes and systems used in industry, to get an insight into the complete production process

Numerically controlled machine tools are important components of a modern manufacturing company. You will use these machines in activities throughout the design, programming, rigging, test run and manufacturing of components.

Other areas covered in the course are engineering drawings as a means of communication, common polymer materials and basic metrology techniques used to verify function and quality, as well as the characteristics of surfaces and surface treatment.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student will be able to:

  • define terms, explain phenomena and use correct terminology within different areas of manufacturing
  • describe the function and use of common machines, equipment and systems
  • explain priciples and state prerequisites and results for different manufacturing methods
  • perform manufacturing calculations
  • use process planning to prepare for manufacturing of simple components in a mechanical workshop
  • use basic metrology to verify the function and quality of a manufactured product
  • handle measurement devices and equipment for machining, sheet metal forming, welding and casting following instructions

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

MF1001 Maskinteknik introduktion, MJ1103 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering  or MF1046/MF1061 Design and Product Realization, Introduction,

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Workshop Practice and Homework Assignments, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN1 - Written Examination, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Examiner

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
