Course detail
Fundamentals of Manufacturing Technologies
FSI-0ZT Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
The course introduces the student to basic production technologies for the manufacture of machine parts. The focus is on modern serial and piece production. The technologies are presented in terms of their continuity and applicability in terms of mass production and economic efficiency of production. Specific tasks presented on available equipment are also presented.In particular, machining, forming, welding, foundry technologies and additive manufacturing are discussed. The course is especially intended for students of construction directions.

Aims
The aim of the course is to introduce students to basic technologies and their applicability in the production of machine parts in various fields. Emphasis is placed on linking the economic aspects of production with the design of the component and assessing the suitability of the technologies used for a given production run. One of the objectives is also to support design activities in terms of assessing production possibilities and designing components for the chosen technology.
