There are still some product design and development processes in the metal-mechanics industry that continue to be based principally on similar experiences and on the designer's own experience. These designs are, in later phases, generally checked and analysed by means of FEM (Finite Element Method) simulations or other methods in order to verify wh...

Teaching methodologies and learning processes have varied over time depending on historical milestones and technological development. Nowadays, there are pedagogical models that transfer certain learning processes out of the classroom. In this way, classroom time is dedicated especially to the practice of previously acquired knowledge and to resolv...

This paper shows the development of a tool with which to solve the most critical aspect of the porthole die design problem using a predictive model based on machine learning (ML). The model relies on a large amount of geometrical data regarding successful porthole die designs, information on which was obtained thanks to a collaboration with a leadi...

A mathematical approach to solve the porthole die design problem is achieved by statistical analysis of a large amount of geometric data of successful porthole die designs. Linear and logarithmic regression are used to analyse geometrical data of 596 different ports from 88 first trial dies. Non-significant variables or high correlated variables ar...

A mathematical approach to solve the porthole die design problem is achieved by statistical analysis of a large amount of geometric data of successful porthole die designs. In cooperation with a leading extrusion company, a significant number of extrusion dies have been analysed. All of them were made of H-13 steel and the billet material was Al-60...
