CODE 84337 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 3 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA 8784 (L-9) - LA SPEZIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/15 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION LA SPEZIA SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MACHINE DESIGN TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course aims to introduce students to product design. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The main objective of the module is to provide students with specialised knowledge and critical understanding of product design, with particular reference to the design process and to the design for safety, for manufacturability, for cost, for assembly and for environment. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course, students will be able to read and interpret drawings of mechanical assemblies and parts of medium complexity, identifying the main components and analyzing their morphology also in relation to their functional characteristics. They will also be able to develop 3D CAD models and related 2D drawings of parts and assemblies of mechanisms, transmissions and mechanical systems, using both commercial and application-specific components. TEACHING METHODS The course takes place in the computer room and includes lectures mixed with active exercises using the Creo Parametric software. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction to CAD-CAE systems. Feature based solid parametric modeling, Part models: sketcher, constraints, features, solid parts, advanced features. Assembly models: how to insert parts, constraints, mobility, kinematic aspects, operations on parts, exploded views and animations. 2D drawings: views, sections, dimensions, tolerances. Analysis features; constraints, relations, and parameters. Exchange of geometric models between heterogeneous CAD-CAE software tools. Use of commercial component libraries. Mechanical design elements: embodiment design and choice and use of commercial and unified components. Geometric and functional analysis of construction drawings of mechanisms and mechanical transmissions. The course includes training in the use of the Creo Parametric program.

Once the project is approved, the exam consists in the discussion of the project. The exam can also be held on dates set by appointment. ASSESSMENT METHODS The assessment that the student has acquired the required skills is based on a careful analysis, also through intermediate reviews prior to the final exam, of the quality of the project developed in the Creo Parametric environment. The project is assigned to small groups of students (1-3 students, as a rule) who carry out it in relative autonomy and participate, with time intervals agreed with the teacher, to revisions and finally to the final discussion.
