Special Technology of Production (FSI-ESV)

Academic year 2025/2026
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Josef Sedlák, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚST all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

The objective of this course is to teach students how to design technological procedures for individual machining or forming operations, including assessing the suitability of the material being processed, the cutting tool material, and dealing with the issues of both chip-forming and non-chip-forming machining technologies. Additionally, it aims to familiarize students with 3D printing technology and its practical applications.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of manufacturing technology - production of steel and its treatment, kinds of materials. Basic information about commonly used technology of machining, forming, welding and casting.
Course contents:

The course deals with machining technology - formation of chips, machineability of materials, cutting tool wear, possibilities of evaluation of cutting process, 3D printing technology, and reverse engineering. The innovation of this subject is focused on energy efficiency and sustainability of production in the context of the Green Deal. The innovated lecture and exercise provide a comprehensive overview of the issue of energy intensity of machining and carbon footprint, which allows students to comprehensively analyse the environmental impact of production processes.

The course focuses also on possibilities of metal forming (cutting, bending, deep drawing, spinning, special methods), methods of material separating, methods of solid forming (coining, extrusion, forging). All technologies include the whole technological processes and evaluation of formed materials.
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Course-unit credit is awwarded on condition of having attended the all exercises worked out assigned projects during semester.
The exam has a written (or test) and oral part and tests the knowledge acquired injectures and exercises.

 

Attendance at all exercises is necessary. Missed lessons may be compensated for via a make-up tasks by arrangement with the teacher.
Controlled participation in lessons:
 
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 3 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
