Contents:

This course reflects diversity of topics covered in additive manufacturing and the range of skills and expertise that a professional engineer must develop. Indeed, this course aims to provide the mechanical engineers of the future with an education that covers the necessary knowledge of additive manufacuring (AM):

• Knowledge on analysis of manufacturing process by AM.

• Instill creativity in addressing problems in 3D printing 

• Develop a high degree of competence in using AM processes.

• Skills on solving problems in AM processes.

• Information about ongoing research topics in 3D printing.

A summary of the content is as follows:

• Introduction to manufacturing processes

• Advanced manufacturing process: AM.

• Roadmap on AM standards.

• AM modeling and simulation.

• Material characterization for AM.

• In-process control for AM.

• Details of seven 3D printing techniques.

• Fracture and evaluation of printed parts.
