Rapid Modeling and Flexible Assembly Cell for Manufacturing Practicum

为了促进制造业教育和准备工程学生面对未来制造业的挑战，本项目提供了一个灵活的装配线和快速建模机用于创新的新的制造实习。 3学分小时的制造实习，提供给所有工程专业的学生，提供制造工艺工程的实践指导，在受监督的实验室中使用基本生产设备的实践经验，并参观制造公司以了解最新技术。 制造实习通过案例研究和实践经验展示了生产系统效率的重要性，该系统提供具有成本效益的高质量产品，这些产品在灵活的制造环境中以最短的周期生产。 制造实习可以使用多媒体教室和制造实验室进行教学，并在北卡罗来纳州中部的制造工厂进行图尔斯参观。 *

To promote manufacturing education and prepare engineering students to face the challenges of manufacturing in the future, this project provides a flexible assembly line and a rapid modeling machine for use in an innovative new manufacturing practicum. The 3-credit-hour manufacturing practicum, available to all engineering students, provides practical instruction in manufacturing process engineering, hands-on experience with basic production equipment in a supervised laboratory, and visits to manufacturing firms to see the current state of the art. The manufacturing practicum demonstrates through case study and hands-on experience the importance of efficiency in a production system one that provides cost-effective, high-quality products that are produced with a minimal cycle time in a flexible manufacturing environment. The manufacturing practicum can be taught using the multimedia lecture room and the manufacturing laboratory and employs tours of manufacturing plants within central North Carolina. *
