MG2044 Additive Manufacturing 6.0 credits

Administer About course

With the advances in additive manufacturing (AM) as a digital manufacturing method, there is a growing need for engineers to learn AM to exploit its capacities and to bring its potentials to everyday life. The shortage of highly skilled individuals in fact demands new educational programmes in the highest level such as in master courses. Accordingly, this course addresses a set of comprehensive know-how about AM technologies and their parameters to process a variety of materials from metals and polymers. This will be given to master students from engineering backgrounds (production engineering, materials science, mechanical design, engineering mechanics, etc.) to fill the current knowledge gaps for AM adoption and exploitation in manufacturing metals and polymers.

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course deals with:

  • Technologies and materials for metal additive manufacturing (with a focus on parameters and components in Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion and Direct Energy Deposit),
  • Technologies and material forms for polymer additive manufacturing (with a focus on parameters and components in Fused Deposit Modelling, stereolithography, binder/material jetting, selective laser sintering),
  • Post-processing of metals and polymers in additive manufacturing
  • Applications, design considerations and software for additive manufacturing

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

  1. Summarise and explain various additive manufacturing (AM) processes
  2. Describe and analyse the limitations, possibilities, applications and the materials that are used  in different AM techniques

For higher grades, the student should furthermore be able to:

       Identify and analyse design possibilities, based on specific requirements and AM techniques
Explain the role of important parameters and machine components
