Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

MATS34601 Advanced Manufacturing Technologies 20 Semester 1 Undergraduate Level 6 Simeon Gill Unit coordinator Department of Materials 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Last part of a Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 10.0 Students will be introduced to advanced software for human measurement and custom product development as well as the principles and protocols necessary for creating a scalable system. Students will be introduced to advanced software for human measurement and custom product development as well as the principles and protocols necessary for creating a scalable system. Consideration will be given to developing skills in operating a bespoke production line using state of the art technologies and harnessing cutting edge skills. Students will focus on developing an understanding of custom product development, fabric consideration and they will explore garment fit through simulated fit session and virtual fit using Lectra 3DBrief Syllabus: Dr S Gill The practical realities of using body scanning technology and applying theories and practices in the creation of bespoke clothing will be explored. A range of teaching approaches will provide an overview of the current state of knowledge for personalised product development and students will engage in the specification and development of custom products using advanced software. Size Stream body scanning, Shima Seiki knit technology and Lectra Modaris and 3D will be used to guide you through the steps and considerations for creating bespoke products. The final aspects of the unit will explore real and virtual fit assessment and consumer perceptions helping to prepare you to develop solutions for future practice in product and bespoke product development.Dr H OwensResource Allocation and Project Management “No problem is so big or so complicated that it can’t be run away from.” – Charlie Brown (Charles Schultz, Peanuts).  During this unit we’ll discuss project planning, project management and resource allocation.  Quantitative Methods such as PERT and CPM for optimising project duration and resource allocation will be introduced.Prof P PotluriAdvanced weaving and braiding technologies for creating complext 3D shaped artefacts. Covering the state of the art and new developments considering both apparel and advanced techniocal textile applications.    The unit aims to: provide a working knowledge of 3D weaving and 3D knitting processes and CAD for weaving and knitting, advanced yarn manufacturing, and to introduce advanced CAD/CAM for converting 2D fabrics to 3D products based on Lectra CAD/CAM systems. A greater depth of the learning outcomes are covered in the following sections:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="PSGROUPBOX" cols="6" id="ACE_UM_CRSE_DERIVED_UM_GROUPBOX8$0" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 9pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(163, 190, 216); border-style: none;" width="791"></table><ul style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> <li> Knowledge and understanding</li> <li> Intellectual skills</li> <li> Practical skills</li> <li> Transferable skills and personal qualities</li></ul>  <ul> <li> demonstrate with regard to applications a knowledge of techniques used in advanced manufacturing.</li> <li> apply techniques for advanced manufacturing in the creation of specific bespoke products.</li> <li> demonstrate knowledge and understanding of woven and knitting fabric structures and their relation to advanced manufacturing techniques;</li> <li> illustrate a knowledge and understanding of a range of CAD systems used in advanced manufacturing</li></ul> <ul> <li> develop advanced practical skills in relation to 3D technologies for product development;</li> <li> appreciate the analytical content in textile subjects;</li> <li> demonstrate skills necessary to interpret, analyse and draw conclusions from weave and knit structures, and their manufacture into products on appropriate machinery;</li> <li> translate effectively the product specification to realise custom products using advanced manufacturing.</li></ul> <ul> <li> operate a range of advanced equipment under supervision, and observe the demonstration of running machinery;</li> <li> operate a range of CAD systems;</li> <li> write cogent reports based on the Experimental work carried out with CAD equipment.</li></ul> <ul> <li> solve problems;</li> <li> demonstrate numeric skills.  </li></ul> This unit will make use of a variety of learning and teaching processes including lectures (14 hours), workshops (8 hours), laboratory classes (7 hours) and independent study. Students will develop their critical understanding of advanced manufacturing technologies.Information on the coursework is available in the assessment brief of this unit handbook. Details about progression through the coursework will be delivered in Lecture 1 of the unit and continually in the practice-based sessions.Blackboard will be used to present lecture notes, guided reading, articles and other information. 1 Written exam 50% 2 Written assignment (inc essay) 50% Written and oral  N Books and Reports<ul> <li> Anderson DR, Sweeney DJ, Williams TA, 2015, Quantitative Methods for Business, 13th ed, Chapter 13 PERT CPM, CENGAGE Learning Custom Publishing, ISBN 1305631536.</li> <li> Gill, S. 2015.
