Course detail
Production Technology II
FSI-3VT Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester
The course is designed to introduce students to the basic theoretical knowledge in the field of machining and the process of component manufacturing and their application in practical exercises. Practical exercises take place at machine and assembly workplaces. Under expert guidance, students work on the lathe, milling machine and assembly workstation. They also learn about basic programming of CNC machines and additive manufacturing – 3D printing. The acquired knowledge is a prerequisite for mastering further education in the field of engineering technology in higher grades.
