Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the student will be able to
- Learn the current AM technologies, their operating principles, and their characteristics;
- Select the most appropriate AM process for the given task;
- Use various software to obtain trajectory files for AM processes;
- Interpret and modify the generated trajectory files;
- Compare conventional manufacturing processes with AM technologies; and
- Design objects by using Design for AM principles.
