Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is designed to give students a fundamental understanding of additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing). Lectures will cover the complete flow path from foundational design concepts to the inspection of a finished component. An emphasis will be placed on metallic materials. Practical aspects of the technology will be illustrated through case studies of commercial products and hands-on laboratories dedicated to feedstock systems as well as component fabrication using multiple additive manufacturing technologies.
