Course description：Describe the nature, academic status, and aims of the course (theory, ability and
technique)
1. Course nature and academic status
This is a knowledge based course with a collection of useful information about die and
mold making and manufacturing processes which uses die and mold as typical tooling.
2. Course aims (theory, ability and technique)
The aim of the course is to provide a general understanding of the knowledge on die
and mould making, typical manufacturing processes such as sheet metal stamping and
injection molding(in which die and mold are widely used) and related topics such as rapid
prototyping, reverse engineering and computer aided engineering to extend the use of die
and mold technology.
Requirements for courses; ability and knowledge in advance
1. Engineering materials
2. Mechanical engineering
3. Computer technology
Course structure explanation:
Make clear the necessary parts, optional parts, distribution of hours. Courses with experiments or
practice are expected to explain hours needed, content, scheme and functions.
1. Class lecture -16 hours. Covering following topics: a) sheet metal stamping and injection
molding processes and tooling; b)computer aided manufacturing technology;
2. UG software training- 32 hours
Teaching methods (Lectures, practice, etc)
Ppt lecture notes with a lot of video clips to help understand the course subjective issues and software
training to help grasp typical CAD/CAM software commands.
