A number of research tasks solved for practice, in which we use advanced machines and equipment available to the department.
CNC machining
Department has several software packages for programming and control of CNC machines such as Siemens Sinumerik, Heidenhain, Mach3, SolidCAM, Siemens NX and many more.
3D printing
3D printing or Rapid Prototyping is one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent years, which is predicted to have a significant position in the industry. This technology has been in our department for several years and we have been pioneers of this technology throughout the faculty.
Forming
The most modern equipment for the research of forming is largely used in teaching process, where students get acquainted not only with theoretical knowledge but also with their practical application.
Practical teaching
We are not just "tough theorists", but we offer you to participate together in solving projects within research teams working in various technological fields.
CERTIFICATION
Solidworks:
Certification exams for students.
CAX SIMULATION
We use several CAx systems in teaching, researching and solving problems for practice.
Department of Technology, Materials and Computer-Aided Technologies is part of the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University in Košice. At present, the teaching area at our department is focused on available conventional and progressive technologies for the production of components in mechanical engineering as well as on the use of CAx technologies in designing and optimizing production processes. The content of the subjects is the theory and technology of machining, sheet metal forming a bulk forming, plastics processing, welding and surface treatment.
The content of subjects includes design of technological processes, production technology, design and construction of the tools, experimental methods in engineering technology, progressive methods of product production, design and construction of the molds for plastic moldings, simulation of melt flow into the mold cavity, mechanization and production automation. Within the application of individual methods and designs in various technological processes, we use CAD/CAM/CAE systems, simulation programs such as PAM-STAMP, SolidCAM, Moldex 3D and others. Within our workplace, we develop or participate in research in the field of forming, welding, machining, plastics processing, surface treatment, thin layers and many others in order to support the industrial environment and ensure its sustainable economic development. We always try to be accommodating and open to possible opportunities for new cooperation. In case of any information, please contact us.

Technologies, management and innovations in mechanical engineering
On 04.03.2025, an event called Katedrovica was held for our students from the PPSV Ing. 1st and 2nd year study programme. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the awesome atmosphere and great fun.
From 02 to 05.11.2024 the KSIT 2024 conference was held in Tály, Slovakia. It brought together experts from metallurgy, metallurgy and industry from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania. The event was also a celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the scientific journal Acta Metallurgica Slovaca.
Ing. Samuel Vilkovský took part in a one-month Erasmus+ Traineeship at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, which broadened his knowledge with additional academic opportunities. Within the framework of the above-mentioned stay at this faculty, he also focused on future scientific cooperation with this university in the field of forming under the guidance of prof. Pepelnjak. He extended his previous knowledge in the field of simulation of forming processes by the possibilities of using Neural Network and Random Forest methods, which contributed to a new insight into new modern research techniques and methodologies. His further experience from his stay at the University of Ljubljana Mr. Ing. Vilkovský can be read by clicking on the link below.
On 21.05.2024 company Sumitomo DEMAG representatives visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of TUKE. This company presented cutting-edge solutions in the field of plastic injection moulding technology, including a real demonstration on an injection moulding machine. The presentation was intended for employees of the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering, as well as for students and representatives of various companies from KE and the surrounding area. With her expertise in the field of plastic injection moulding, she pointed out the latest trends, tools as well as functions and control panels showing the entire injection moulding process. One of the many features was an introduction to the so-called activeMeltControl function, which adapts the injection moulding process to changes in material (including regranulate), automatic pressure adjustment, or correction of moulding weight fluctuations.
On 14.02.2024 Volvo Cars visited the Institute of Technological and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TUKE. They were interested in study programs oriented on the issue of automotive production, scientific and research activities and possibilities of further cooperation. There was a discussion about the possibility of applying our graduates within the company. A number of study programmes of our faculty offer a wide range of graduates who can find employment in the newly created company in Valaliky Industrial park. In the coming period, representatives of Volvo Cars will visit the laboratories and workplaces of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
On 27.06.2023 an excursion was held for the students of the PPSV Ing. studies in the company RF Elements in their development and production centre at the city of Humenne.
As part of the CEEPUS scholarship program, KTMaPPV students completed a study stay at Politechnika Svietokrzyska in KIelce, Poland. As part of their two-week stay, they had the opportunity to take interesting lectures, visit the laser technology center, several laboratories, but also get to know the city and its surroundings in free time. As part of the summer school, they also visited the 25th year of the exhibition PLASTPOL
The students of the 2nd year of engineering studies of the PPSV study program completed a study stay at the University Politechnika Świętokrzyska in Kielce, Poland, within the CEEPUS scholarship program. During the two-week stay, they had the opportunity to attend interesting lectures, visit the laser technology center, but also get to know the city and its surroundings in their free time.
