ENGS 85.13 - Fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing from Processing to Design
Description
This course is a blended laboratory and lecture course that builds foundational knowledge of processing methodology, design, and materials selection. The course introduces the wide scope of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques and contextualizes their unique opportunities and considerations within the broader manufacturing space. Emphasis is placed on connecting fundamental processing concepts to both structural and materials engineering aspects of design with AM. Topics will include extrusion-, laser-, binder-, and synthesis-based methods for various material classes ranging from polymers to glasses, biomaterials, alloys, functional ceramics, composites, and more. Labs focus on the demonstration of lectured concepts through hands-on printing experience, characterization of AM components, and a team-based design challenge. Students will also apply their knowledge in a team-based project to analyze, assess, and pitch a new implementation of AM for an industrial application.Prerequisites
