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

The aim is for students to master the rules for design of forming tools for various technologies including checking calculation and design of material.

 

Students will acquire knowledge of the tool design, as well as skills mecessary for proposing a concept of a tool for various forming technologies including application of design parameters.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:

Knowledge of forming technology. Knowledge of engineering drawing, rules for fitting, types of materials for tools. Knowledge of stress analysis and technological steps.
Course contents:

The course deals with following topics: Types of forming tools - simple tools, follow-tools, combined tools, compound tools. Also dealt with is the design of tools for rolling, swaging, bending, deep drawing, extrusion, forging. The course focuses also on the design elements of tools including technological and design computations, materials for tools as well as on special tools for small number of products. Tools used for non conventional forming techniques.
