Design and Materials Technology
Discover the new JAC course to become a Higher Technician
Responsabile di progetto: Valeria Moliterno
The Materials Design and Technology Course
The three-year course, the only one in Italy on the subject of materials technology, trains a professional figure with a high level of theoretical and practical knowledge, capable of manage critically and safely the machines and auxiliary equipment used by companies in the sector, for the various polymer processing techniques; to make the optimal choice of thermoplastic, thermosetting materials, elastomers and their compositesin accordance with their use, reuse and recycling; of adopting suitable criteria for the designing of items in plastic and composites and the relative moulds; of controlling and supervising the quality of procedures for the design and processing of materials; of providingtechnical and commercial support for companies using machinery and auxiliary equipment, raw materials and composites.
The training programme is also implemented from one two-year period to the next in order to gather feedback and suggestions from companies in the sector and has been updated in relation to the technological innovations and new requirements economic-environmental issues, first and foremost that of an ever wider application of thecircular economy and the energy saving, with a consequent specific focus on the design criteria for the production cycles of manufactured products and on the end-of-life recovery of manufactured products and the recycling and reuse of raw and secondary materials.
SKILLS
During the Materials Design and Technology course you will acquire the following skills:
- In production; implement the production cycle for an injection-moulded item in plastic (or rubber), having controlled the process parameters regarding the rheology of the materials and having defined the characteristics of the machinery and the auxiliary equipment in accordance with the quality specifications of the item to be produced.
- In the laboratory; carry out the main characterisation tests for items in plastic (or rubber) and relative materials in accordance with the relative technical regulations, interpreting the results of the tests and identifying any necessary corrections to be applied to production.
- In quality control; verify the company work cycle from design to shipping of items in line with the production quality and quantity goals, with reference to ISO 9000 and 14000 standards.
- In the technical design department; collaborate on the designing of an item in plastic (or rubber), in accordance with the quality specifications of the item, its life cycle and recycling; collaborate in the design of the relative mould for the item and any auxiliary equipment, in accordance with the production quality and quantity goals and the available machine inventory.
- In the technical-commercial department; be able to interact with clients in understanding the specific production goals and present the client the range of machinery, complete with all necessary technical details, in line with their expectations in terms of production programming; be able to provide the technical departments with the information acquired, enabling the formulation of technical offers and quotations, also in accordance with company marketing policies.
