Design for Advanced Manufacture introduces you to how products work and are made. Manufacturing oriented design decisions influence the whole of life performance of a product. As such, you will learn design approaches to effective material and process specification, assembly, and end of life options such as design for dis-assembly in order to propose new ways of improving their mechanical functionality and longevity. You will explore various processes of advanced manufacture used at different scales of production including, but not limited to plastics injection moulding, and thermoforming; and metal fabrication processes including spinning, folding casting, machining and finishing.
