Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The aim is a semestral work included the proposal of manufacturing of particular plastic part. The clasified credit is given after fullfil of partial works and final project.
Attendancy in lecture is recomended. Student elaborate some partial exersices dealed for example with shrinkage by injection molding etc. Finally student prepare individual project of new design of plastics product.

Aims

The subject of the lecture-course is given to design the products made from plastics, otherwise the connexion between technologic and economic possibilities of plastic proccesing techniques. The target is ability to define material requirements a ability to create an own design of problem part solution for given application.
The aim is in complexe appraisal of material proposal and conclusion of problems in sence of economics, processing and utility of products, recyclation etc..
