AMR337   Additive Manufacturing   (20 credits)

Description

This unit aims to provide a student with a practical introduction to the theory and growing use of additive manufacturing processes, a method by which digital 3D design data is used to build up an artefact in layers by depositing material. The unit explores the main categories of additive manufacture, their process steps (pre and post build), technology and materials. The unit also considers the engineering characteristics, typical applications, and benefits and limitations of the artefacts made using the various additive manufacturing processes.
