Analysis of the behavior of stainless steel for bending processes and production process applied to a bicycle stand

Abstract

[ES] El trabajo de fin de grado trata sobre el diseño de un soporte de bicicleta con sus diferentes procesos productivos que se utilizan para poder ser diseñado.

Se estudia el comportamiento del acero inoxidable para el proceso de doblaje donde se utilizaran diferentes programas como SolidWorks para diseñar los materiales necesarios para poder doblar nuestro material llamados estampas teniendo en cuenta las propiedades del acero. Una tecnología de la que se requiere un gran conocimiento de SolidWorks y de la utilización de la propia máquina de doblaje denominada PPB LVD. Además también será necesario utilizar distintos programas como Cadma para poder programar la máquina.

Por otra parte, hay que tener en cuenta otros procesos productivos previos que serán necesarios para diseñar nuestro objeto como cortar el metal del soporte donde utilizaremos distintos calibres hechos con una impresora 3D o la utilización de soldadura que nos dará la consistencia para poder forjar el diseño final.

Finalmente, la prioridad de un diseñador de un producto es conseguir diseñar con un gran exactitud e intentando optimizar tanto el tiempo como el coste con la utilización de todas las herramientas que tenemos a nuestro alcance.

[EN] The development of the final degree project has had its complexity and various topics of interest that have been a challenge as a student of Industrial Engineering. This project has got a large variety of fields that has allowed me to know different production processes necessary at the time of designing,having in mind to look for the most optimal solution. It has been a challenge to apply all the knowledge and the skills we have learned at the University of Valencia, and take a look at how useful it is in the traineeship. After all these months in Belgium it has been a pleasure to have the opportunity of studying in another country, improving my english skills and learning how an engineer works. Moreover, It is a different experience that has been useful to open my mind in different aspects of my life and seeing different ways of working in Europe. I would like to thank the University of Valencia for giving me this opportunity and also Filip, my tutor in Belgium, who has taught me different aspects of the design using a variety of technologies. Furthermore, He has helped me with any problem I come up with so it has been easy to feel like home. For all these reasons, I have to be proud of all the knowledge I have achieved in this new experience that will help in my career as an engineer having skills in the field of designing.
