Course Overview

This course is an overview of the significance of manufacturing worldwide and the structure of 2.008x, including key topics and a framework for planning manufacturing processes. Topics include machining, including material removal processes and advanced materials, as well as injection molding, thermoforming and sheet metal forming, casting, and additive manufacturing. Quality and variation are discussed using statistical methods, as well as manufacturing cost and sustainability, including energy consumption and the use of robots. The course also covers electronics and fabrication, and concludes with a summary of 2.008x and emerging technologies, with perspectives on the future of manufacturing.

Key Takeaways

1
Analyze the physical principles underlying machining, injection molding, casting, thermoforming, sheet metal forming, 3D printing, and electronics assembly.
2
Evaluate the design for manufacturing principles and the impact on rate, quality, cost, flexibility, and sustainability in the mass production of products.
3
Synthesize a multi-step manufacturing process plan that balances rate, quality, cost, flexibility, and sustainability.
4
Apply cost estimation techniques to make accurate predictions of cost and throughput in the manufacturing process.
5
Evaluate the life-cycle considerations and trade-offs in the manufacturing process, including important constraints and sustainability factors.
