| Course Objectives | This course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles and technologies of additive manufacturing (AM), including a detailed overview of various 3D printing methods, materials, and their industrial applications, with a particular focus on automotive applications. Students will explore the advantages, limitations, and future trends of AM in comparison to traditional manufacturing processes. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions, students will gain practical experience in 3D modeling, slicing, G-code generation, and operation of different types of 3D printers. The course will also cover essential topics such as process optimization, post-processing techniques, and quality assurance methods. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply AM technologies to solve real-world engineering problems, especially in the context of prototyping and customized part production for the automotive industry. |
