Slide and other PDF materials of the course are available on the Moodle on-line course and on the Google Group SPP-UNIFI-2009 (http://groups.google.it/group/spp-unifi-2009)

To provide the competencies needed to:
• Reengineering of mechanical product using DFM approach
• Optimization of manufacturing costs
• Non conventional and plastic/composite materials manufacturing processes
• Eco manufacturing
The student will acquire the capacity and knowledge on the tools to improve the producibility of industrial products, the production costs and time. It will be provided the competencies to use non conventional processes and plastic/composite materials, particular regards will be sued for the environmental aspect of the processes.

The needed competencies for this course are:
• Mechanical Technology
• Economics

Suggested competencies are:
• Mechanical Design
• Process Planning

46 hours of classroom didactic
2 hours of practical exercises

The dates of the exams are:

8 February 2011
1 March 2011
28 June 2011
19 July 2011
6 September 2011
20 September 2011

The examinations will be held in S.Marta complex.

If there will be more than 5 students is possible to activate special session by request to Prof. Campatelli

The students must register to the examinations using the CSIAF system no more than three days earlier than the examination date

Development of a DFM case study (only for Mechanical Engineering students) on a product proposed by the students and approved by the professor. The case study must be provided before the end of the course and could be developed also by group with no more than 3-4 students.
