Abstract

Many tools for metal forming manufacturing are made by copying similar tools with only minimum adaptation regarding the new product. Since such tools are not optimized for manufacture and assembly, it provides a variety of topics for bachelor theses for candidates at the mechanical engineering faculties. In this paper, the optimization of the metal forming tool for protecting wall regarding manufacture and assembly, performed in a bachelor thesis is presented. The optimization is based on approaches known as Design for Assembly and Design for Manufacture. The resulting tool model shows that there is enough space for improvement that can be done and that considered design approaches could be a source for several new interesting bachelor theses.
