This course focuses on basic principles and methodology of different types of polymers and processes created with the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process. Comparison of selecting the best type of polymer for production will be discussed. Students receive proper instruction on safety operations, set-up, routine maintenance and production on the AM system. Students learn the various types of polymer AM systems; ie. Fused Deposition Manufacturing (FDM), Poly Jet and SLA.

This course provides students with a fundamental understanding of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, commonly known as 3D printing. Students will learn process characteristics, economics, and practical applications of various AM processes and how they differ from legacy fabrication processes such as milling. Students will gain practical studio experience with AM using the latest technologies to fabricate products from virtual designs.

This courses slump and slump testing, as well as creating concrete test coupons, to identify acceptable concrete mixes for additive manufacturing. Also covered is a survey of various testing that can be done on the samples. Upon completion, students will be able to perform slump tests and create testable samples for a variety of tests. Students will also be able to interpret slump test results to determine usability of the concrete mix tested for a given application.

Students will experience with in situ 3D printing, particularly as it pertains to additive construction. The students may complete at least two (2) projects where they can experience the effects of 3D printing in hot and cold temperatures. Students will also become familiar with the environmental impact of their in situ activities, such that they learn about recyclability of materials they use and discard.

This course focuses on the basic principles and methodology of different types of metal powders and processes created with the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process. Students receive instruction on safety operations, set-up and routine maintenance and production of the AM Systems. Students learn metal powder based AM with the use of the Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) system. Students also learn various design software programs used for a metal powder system.
