What you'll learn

Master turning, milling, punching, drilling, bending and more!
Use ratios to test feasibility of designs.
Confidently tackle manufacturing calculations with ease.

Requirements

Basic understanding of algebra.
A passion to learn about Machining and Manufacturing.

Description

'Introduction to Manufacturing' makes complicated machining calculations easy!

This course includes video and text explanations of machining and manufacturing, and it includes more than 30 worked-through video examples with easy-to-understand explanations. In this course you will learn these essential manufacturing operations and calculations:

Basic Manufacturing
Turning
Punching
Milling
Holding and Drawing Force
Feasibility Ratios
Drilling
Bending
Centrifugal Casting
Production Cycle Time

These are the 10 fundamental chapters in the study of machining and manufacturing.

Watch over my shoulder as I solve problems for every single machining issue you’ll encounter. We start from the beginning. First I teach the theory. Then I do an example problem. I explain the problem, the steps I take, why I take them and how to simplify the answer when you get it.

You can ask me for help in the Q&A section any time, any day, whether it's related to the video content or another problem you're struggling with at home. Either way, I'm here to help you achieve your goals and do the best you possibly can!

Who this course is for:

Anyone with an interest in how things are made and how manufacturing works. No prior technical background required.

I am a systems engineer and award winning Udemy instructor. Top 10% most engaging instructor on Udemy in 2018. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Engineering degree with distinction from the University of Pretoria. I specialised in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

I have since founded Future RPA where we use Smart Automation to optimise our clients' business processes. Our services include app development, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and process optimisation.

Through my experience of being an engineering student, I understand where and why students struggle. I remember that horrible feeling of struggling for hours trying to figure something out. Having a passion for teaching, I have created step-by-step instructional courses on engineering subjects with explanations easy enough for anyone to understand. As a result, I aim to close the gap between "lecturing" and "teaching". I truly love teaching others and simplifying the learning curve for engineering students around the world.
