Learning outcomes |
This course aims to give an introduction to the use of additive manufacturing (commonly referred to as 3D printing) for rapid prototyping, namely, the project, design, construction and post processing of parts produced by additive manufacturing;
It is intended to carry out small projects that encompass the design of the part for production by additive manufacturing, process selection, material selection and CAM settings, production and post processing.
