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.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

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.
