Overview
What you will learn
The aims of the Simulations for Precision Manufacturing course offered by Cranfield University are:
- To learn the latest advancement in ultra-precision manufacturing methods meant for achieving high precision accuracies, tighter tolerances and reduced energy bills.
- To understand the effectiveness of various manufacturing methods and the challenges of applicability of these across different classes of materials.
- To understand how and why materials behave in a certain way.
- Gain an understanding of the atomic mechanisms at the heart of the frontiers of manufacturing.
- To equip yourself with the skills to design and structure newer class of materials used in various sectors including defence, aerospace, biomedical and energy.
- To acquire hands-on experience of a simulation toolbox designed to study a range of fundamental scientific problems which are not suited to the scale of FEA.
- Develop problem solving skills for nano-level applications for your ‘real’ design and manufacturing problems which requires fundamental investigations.
