Department

Welcome to the website of our department

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.

ERASMUS scholarship


RoadShow Sumitomo DEMAG 

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.
