Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce design process of tools in general. An ability to develop solutions for the design of tools will be gained. Student will develop skills to reduce the overall cost to manufacture a product by making acceptable parts at the lowest cost. It will be introduced methods to increase the production rate by designing tools to produce parts as quickly as possible. Ability for designing tools to consistently produce parts with the required precision will be developed.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will be familiar with cutting tools, toolholders and cutting fluids
  • Machine tools, including modified or special types will be covered.
  • Additional elements and devices such as jigs and fixtures, gauges and measuring instruments will be introduced.
  • Students will be acquainted with dies for metal forming; more specifically sheet metal cutting and forming, forging, upsetting, cold finishing and extrusion dies.
  • Fixtures and accessories for welding, riveting and other mechanical fastening will be demonstrated.
Course Content Tool design; tool materials; cutting tool design; workholding principles; jig design; fixture design; power presses; metal cutting, forming and drawing; tool design for inspection and gauging; tool design for joining processes; modular and automated tool handling; the computer in tool design; geometric dimensioning and tolerancin
