Material Innovation in Metallurgy and Polymer

The development of modern manufacturing industries demands the application of increasingly advanced technologies with high precision and efficient use of materials and energy. Conventional manufacturing methods are no longer fully capable of meeting the production requirements for components with complex geometries, advanced materials, and increasingly stringent quality standards. Therefore, a strong understanding of advanced and non-conventional manufacturing techniques is essential to address these challenges.

This course is designed to enhance participants’ competencies in understanding and applying various modern manufacturing technologies, including non-conventional processes (such as EDM, ECM, and USM), powder metallurgy, polymer manufacturing, composite manufacturing, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Through an integrative approach that combines theory and practice, students are expected to be able to select appropriate processes and materials, design optimal manufacturing systems, and ensure product quality in accordance with industry standards. This learning is crucial in preparing graduates who are adaptive and competent in facing the dynamics of the global manufacturing industry.

The course emphasizes a deep understanding of working principles, process characteristics, as well as the advantages and limitations of each technology in industrial applications. Students will learn how to select suitable materials, design efficient manufacturing processes, and systematically control product quality.
