Overview of class
ME 340-2 is the cumulative manufacturing course in Mechanical Engineering focusing on the post-design aspects of product development. This course follows the path of a plastic component intended for mass production through the injection molding process, with focus on the optimization of the part & process for large scale manufacturing. This course will cover: Design for manufacturing and injection molding, NX CAD design and CAM programming, Polymer manufacturing, Statistical quality control, CAD principals, Geometric dimensioning and tolerances - with applications to total system tolerances, and manufacturing systems.
Students will follow a complete product development process, by designing a part via sketches and NX CAD, develop manufacturing programs in NX CAM, optimize their parts for injection molding, and manufacture their molds using a CNC machining center. Students will then use an injection molding machine to conduct a manufacturing run of their parts, and participate in a competition to select the best designed part.
