Design for Additive Manufacturing

The module focuses on establishing knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes from a design perspective, that is, how to design AM for a specific application and when to choose AM as a manufacturing method. The module covers a wide range of topics involving the basics of design for AM, materials selection, and 3D scanning for reverse engineering, as well as practical exercises on design for AM. The module also includes a demonstration of 3D printer slicing software and 3D scanning techniques.
