Gaining of theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of tool and die design in metal forming technologies.

After completing the courses and passing the exam, students should be able to design both bulk and sheet forming tools and dies by using advanced methods and CEA approach.

The application of advanced methods in design tools and dies, computer aided design, software packages. Design of tools and dies for sheet metal forming, tools for punching, bending tools, deep drawing tools. Progressive and transfer dies. Tools and dies for the automobile industry. Design of bulk forming tools and dies, dies for extrusion, forging tools and dies, tools for precision forming, multi-stage tools. Advanced methods for tool design, finite element method. Methods for tool testing.

Classes are held with the active participation of students in lectures and exercises. In the lectures advanced methods of tool and die design for metal forming technologies are studied, followed by computer-aided design and related software packages. Essential basis for the practical design of certain types of tools and dies for metal forming are provided. On the exercise classes, knowledge presented in lectures is practically applied - a few case studies of tool and dies design is carried out by using CAD software packages NX and SolidEdge. Strength calculation of dies and tool elements is performed using the finite element method. Tools are examined in laboratory conditions. Special consultations are included as well.
