SUMMARY OF THE OBJECTIVES
The course aims to provide to the students the following learning outcomes:
- to know the main features and parameters of the most common additive manufacturing technologies
- to know the features of the most common materials used in the context of additive manufacturing
- to be able to use design tools for modelling and simulating component to be realized through additive manufacturing
- to be able to use and choose the most appropriate additive manufacturing technologies to design, prototype and manufacture plastic and metal parts
EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Knowledge and understanding: to know the most relevant themes about additive manufacturing techniques; to know the most relevant themes about materials for additive manufacturing; to know the most relevant tools to support design for additive manufacturing
2. Applying knowledge and understanding: to be able to use design for additive manufacturing tools; to be able to use rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing technologies
3. Making judgements: to be able to choose the most appropriate tools, materials and technologies for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing of parts
4. Communication skills: to demonstrate expertise on subjects related to tools and technologies for additive manufacturing; to know and be able to correctly use the language and terminologies to communicate orally or in written form a project realized by using additive manufacturing techniques
5. Learning skills: to be able to autonomously use tools and technologies to support additive manufacturing
