    Description
    This course provides a comprehensive overview of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, spanning from fundamentals to applications and industry trends. Students will understand how to design, fabricate (produce), and measure 3D printed parts using a range of printing technologies and materials. They will develop knowledge of the seven (7) ISO/ASTM-defined 3D printing processes and evaluate each process's capabilities, material characteristics, parameters, and design considerations. Emphasis will be placed on current additive manufacturing industry applications, design principles, and production standards. In-class sessions will feature demonstrations and projects using the latest industry-grade 3D printers and post-processing equipment.
