Course content
This course proposes seminars on precision and microfabrication techniques or micro-engineered products among:
-
techniques: water jet cutting, sputtering, photolithography, electro-discharge machining, rapid prototyping, thermoforming, investment cast molding...
-
products: stents, CNT, microneedles, IC components, knee prosthesis...
Some of these seminars are prepared by students, after the visit of an industrial contact specialist in the chosen field. This seminar preparation includes the production of a 20 pages report and a 20-30 minutes slideshow.
The goal is to provide to the students insights of physical principles, technological components, design rules, advantages and drawbacks, as well as cost aspects for each technnique.
Additionnally, 3 industrial visits are organized in Belgium.
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
Learn to select a manufacturing technique and to assess the manufacturing cost according to the product specifications and the batch size
Teaching methods and learning activities
Ex-cathedra seminars given by the professor, seminars given by the students, industrial visits
