This course will provide an overview of Machine Tool Technology, CNC Technology and Machining for EDM, Turning and Milling including CAM supported by practical projects. Some non-traditional machining processes will also be covered theoretically. FDM Rapid Prototyping which supports activities like reverse engineering and product development will also be covered.

The course outcome are listed as follows:

1) Recognise the various non-metallic material processing technique and the characteristic of each processes (CO1)

2) Appreciate the powder metallurgy processing in producing net shape parts from metal powder (CO2)

3) Understand the basic concept of machine tools technology and provide background on the importance of machining and reducing machining cost (CO3)

4) Able to distinguish the working principles, process characteristics, process parameters and area of applications in non- traditional machining and the importance of prototyping (CO4)

5) Competent in the procedure of design for manufacturing , selecting a suitable material and process for production (CO5)
