Course Objectives
The course aims to:
- Teach and/or increase the knowledge of students on advanced manufacturing techniques
- Teach the basic history of additive manufacturing techniques and their evolution
- Explain the theory and application behind different additive manufacturing techniques
- Experience the machinery first-hand with visits to various locations that house these technologies.
Course Content
Learning about different 3D additive manufacturing methods that are used during
prototyping and manufacturing processes in industry. Lectures on the theoretical aspects of
different additive manufacturing techniques, their applications, their short-comings, and
real-life experience with actual additive manufacturing machines. The course will touch
upon the topic of designing for AM and have in-class exercises as well as assignments on
the subject.
