Aims
To enable students to understand additive manufacturing processes, particularly those that contribute to the concept of “high value manufacturing”.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Recognise a range of additive manufacturing processes and identify relevant processes to consider for a particular application.
2.
Analyse and estimate process parameters for processing a given application.
3.
Critically examine the practical and commercial constraints and benefits of adopting an additive manufacturing approach.
4.
Design for additive manufacture.
