Training Course:Rapid Product Development (Certificate) (Diploma) (Master Degree)School/Trainer:De Montfort University Leicester, United Kingdom
Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced
Course Description:
'' The programme comprises of a choice of eight taught modules, each in a specialist area followed by an individual project usually undertaken with an industrial partner. The intensive and highly focused modules cover all aspects of product development. The course benefits from outstanding support from industry with guest lectures from industry experts and visits to companies to see the technology in action.
Computer Aided Design (CAD): CAD is the cornerstone of modern product design and manufacturing and underpins the whole principle of Rapid Product Development. Students will not only be taught the theory of CAD but will also be given comprehensive hand-on training using the latest solid modelling software from Solid Works®.
Rapid Prototyping (RP): RP methods have revolutionised product development enabling parts of unlimited complexity to be generated in layers. This module covers the principles of RP followed by a detailed explanation of a wide range of RP methods. This module will demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the alternative RP methods using applications and case studies from industry As well as the theory hands-on training is given using the major RP techniques and associated software tools. . Reverse Engineering (RE): RE enables geometric data of existing objects to be captured and used to design new products. In this module an overview of the basic principles of RE and a wide range will be covered in detail. Students will have the opportunity to gain hands on experience with both contact and non-contact RE methods. Intensive training will also be given in the use of Delcam CopyCAD® software which enables the RE data to be manipulated and taken into a wide range of CAD system.
Design Analysis: Many companies now employ a range of design analysis techniques to enable the performance of new products to be predicted. In this module the basic principles of computational design analysis methods (FEA,CFD etc) will be explained and the role they can play in product development will be described using case studies from a range of industries. Students will then receive training in the use of ALGOR® finite element software.
High Speed Machining (HSM): HSM is not only quicker than conventional machining it allows machining of hard metals and thin walled components to produce distortion free parts which have an excellent surface finish. This module will explain the basic principles of high speed machining and the combination of technologies which have enabled HSM to become a reality. During the course students will receive instructions on how to use Delcam PowerMill® software to generate cutter paths suitable for use on HSM equipment.
Rapid Tooling: Rapid tooling techniques can dramatically reduce the cost and time to introduce new products. Using a combination of teaching and hands-on tuition this module covers both the theory and practice of a wide range of rapid tooling methods.
Virtual Prototyping (VP): VP encompasses a range of computer based tools including virtual reality (VR) and haptic devices which enable user to see and even feel objects which only exist as electronic data. VP allows designers and customers to review a new product at an early stage of development without the need to generate a physical prototype. This intensive module gives an overview of the basic principles of VP and a wide range of technology, from basic graphical interfaces through to immersive VR facilities will be explained in detail. Students will also have the chance to use a range of VP methods, including state-of-the art facilities within DeMontfort University.
Research Methods: At Masters level the ability to plan and undertake research and report the findings is essential. This module not only provides these skills it also forms the essential foundation for students wishing to undertake the final project module to gain a Masters degree. Lectures and practical classes include project planning, conducting literature surveys, reporting writing and presentation skills.
Concurrent Engineering: Concurrent engineering techniques are vital for the effective management of the design process. In this module the latest business management tools, which enable CE engineering to be achieved, will be explained, including detailed lectures on FMEA,FTA,QFD, design for manufacture and assembly and Business Process Improvement techniques.
