MANE 6367 Principles of Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing
This course brings to students recent technology development in additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing technologies. An overview of most used AM processes will be covered first. We will then discuss advantages and disadvantages for each process and its best applications. We will then spend time on how material properties such as powder size and distribution, and its morphology might affect the final quality of fabricated products. Based on this, an understanding of the material requirement for each process can be developed. We will discuss failures in AM caused by a poor design, and ways to avoid the failures. The last part of the class will be centered on the current development and future of AM.
