Course program

Day 1	Introduction General principles of construction: functionality, feasibility, maintenance 3D program as a tool in the hands of the designer Building the project structure Division of the main assembly into groups and subgroups Numbering in the structure, naming convention Building permanent bonds Order in documentation Process design Types of details Example processes
Day 2	Tool functionality General principles of functionality Examples of OK/NOK solutions Mild steel, aluminum, spring steels – design adaptations Tool feasibility Manufacturing awareness Basic principles of processing Minimizing labor intensity Installation and maintenance Assembly and locksmith work Service and repairs Material lists
Day 3	Design of trimming stations Flat and shaped trimming Cutting clearances, overlaps, cutting forces Construction of knives and dies Function of the presser CAM trimming Design of forming stations Crashforming and a drawbar – differences and principles of use Straight and shaped bending Structure of forming and bending segments Presser function Calibration CAM forming Chamfering, deburring Special functions (optional) Crimping of studs and nuts Threading Standardization of solutions Benefits of standardization Project areas to standardize Creating internal databases

Laboratory

Our rooms and laboratories are AC equipped and spacious. During the training we use various exhibits and elements used in extrusion processes.

We discuss most common faults and how to abate them. Plastic working processes are analysed based on video materials.

Software

Examples of the use of a commercial extrusion modelling and simulation software, such as: Eta/Dynaform, Pam Stamp, Catia, Unigraphix, Forge itp. (no practical exercises for participants).

Our experts

The trainer is a graduate of doctoral studies at the Faculty of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice as well as a member of the academic staff of this facility and specializes in the field of metal forming processes. He has over 10 years of experience in working for metal forming industry – automotive and aviation industries, including 4 years as a trainer conducting courses for engineers, press shop workers and maintenance services. He has been awarded a number of certificates in project management and holds qualifications in the area of physical and numerical methods of simulating manufacturing processes, metal forming and quality and production management. He has published a lot of his papers (also in technical magazines) and gained broad industrial experience through working with many press shops. He conducted research on modern pressing methods (including ialor welded blanks pressing) and hydroforming, which led to scientific achievements in these fields. He uses the experience gained in his everyday work in the industry and at the university to give high-quality theory and practice classes.
