This intensive short course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamentals of additive manufacturing (AM) technology, its applications in the industry, and its implications in the markets.
The course introduces AM process fundamentals, material properties, design rules, qualification methods, cost and value analysis, and industrial and consumer applications of AM. Particular emphasis will be placed on AM technologies for metals and other advanced materials (ceramics and composites), and related design principles and part performance. The AM techniques introduced in this course include, but are not limited, to selective laser melting (SLM), direct energy deposition (DED), wire arc deposition, cold spray, powder binder jetting, electroplating, fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA).
