Design for Additive Manufact.
Hours
3.0 Credit, 2.0 Lecture, 1.0 Lab
This course explores the past, present, and future of additive manufacturing (AM), including how it enables mass customization and increased design complexity. Lab experiences focus on preparing 3D models, operating several types of AM systems, and post processing finished parts. Students apply "Design for AM" principles to adapt existing part designs for AM and design new products that capitalize on the possibilities only available through AM.
