This course covers the fundamental aspects of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) and how these concepts require designers to think in a fundamentally different way compared to design for traditional manufacturing. The course will dive into opportunistic design and restrictive DfAM. It will use hands-on, problem-based learning to assist students in developing the skills necessary to operate within the design for additive manufacturing community. As a student in this course, you will be expected to put your existing computer aided design (CAD) and manufacturing knowledge to use in this new context. By the end of the course, you will be able to intelligently and professionally use additive manufacturing (AM) technology for the purpose of informed and inspired product design.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
Describe the role that design for additive manufacturing plays in the greater field of additive manufacturing.
Compare and contrast design for additive manufacturing principles with design for traditional manufacturing principles.
Apply existing design for additive manufacturing approaches and frameworks to design problems.
Identify and quantify restrictive design for additive manufacturing considerations via experimental methods.
Utilize opportunistic design for additive manufacturing concepts to improve the quality and novelty of a product.
Discuss key areas of future development to advance the field of design for additive manufacturing.
Who should attend?
Additive Manufacturing Design Advantages & Limitations is geared towards engineering designers looking to take their additive manufacturing (AM) skills to the next level. Participants will likely have significant experience with computer-aided design (CAD), but may possess a range of experience with AM.
Everyone from beginners to intermediate and advanced practitioners of AM can find something new from this course that they can turn around and apply to their engineering design practice. Students should be prepared to engage in hands-on activities meant to challenge their existing preconceptions about manufacturing and explore the breadth of ongoing advancements in design for AM.
