Shop Training: Additive Fundamentals

0.25 Course Units

Intended for graduate students conducting research. This course introduces students to the methods, techniques, and machines utilized in additive manufacturing spaces at Penn. The focus will be on iterative design using Fused Deposition Modeling, Stereolithography, and Polyjetting. These methods will be compared with alternatives such as Digital Light Processing, Selective Laser Sintering, Subtractive Manufacturing, and other fabrication techniques. Students will use computer-aided design tools and additive machines to solve problems of physical device and item manufacture. Graduate Standing in engineering or permission of the insturctor. MEAM 101 or a suitable 3D computer aided design experience to be determined by the instructor. Fall or Spring 0.25 Course Units
