    Description
    Introduction to Additive Manufacturing (AM) with an emphasis on 3D printing. Students learn about the evolution of rapid prototyping to desktop 3D printing to Additive Manufacturing and beyond. Current AM technologies, capabilities, materials and applications are investigated by completing a number of hands-on projects by applying Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) principles, creating CAD models, selecting materials, determining optimum build parameters, running parts on 3D printers, and measuring and performing other necessary operations.
