MET 212 Additive Manufacturing
This course covers additive manufacturing – AKA 3D Printing – and how it is both innovating and disrupting modern manufacturing and design methods. Students will understand the operating principles of each mainstream AM process and how these principles govern its performance and limitations. Students will learn to identify how, when, and where additive manufacturing can improve manufacturing processes and products across the entire product lifecycle, from design concepts to end-of-life. Students will apply design for manufacturing constraints to components they design and additively manufacture.
