VL Production technology for lightweight construction
Aim of the event:
This course is aimed at students who are interested in the fundamentals of production engineering, particularly with regard to machining and forming technology, as well as in the special features and characteristics of these production techniques that are used for the realisation of lightweight constructions. Students will be able to describe the essential basics and typical characteristics of the most important machining and forming processes in the field of lightweight construction. Based on this knowledge, students are able to determine the possibilities and limits of forming and machining production processes. This also enables them to propose suitable processes for the manufacture of semi-finished and end products with defined properties.
Module number:
Target group:
Students of mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and teaching degree programmes.
Contents:
The lecture series Manufacturing Technology for Lightweight Construction focuses on manufacturing technologies that are particularly suitable for lightweight construction applications. Topics include in particular:
- Introduction to forming technology, machining and manufacturing technology for lightweight construction
- Fundamentals of metallurgy, plasticity theory, process modelling and FEM
- Working accuracy
- Process overview of sheet metal and profile forming
- Incremental and active media-based forming processes
- Lightweight construction through machining

Literature:
Relevant literature will be referred to in the lecture.
Important notes:
Documents for the lecture and exam preparation will be uploaded to PANDA.
Please note that this course also covers the basics of forming technology. We therefore recommend this course to students who would like to gain an insight into these manufacturing techniques.
The schedule and organisational aspects of the lecture will be discussed in the first week of lectures.
