modules

This module is dedicated to additive manufacturing, focusing on parts that are fabricated through additive processes (powder or filament – metallics, polymer or composites) versus the conventional, subtractive methods. As we approach a time where resources scarcity and clean/carbon neutral manufacturing technologies are amongst the key business drivers in many engineering sectors, this module aims to introduce you to the digital manufacturing processes, materials, design and applications.

The syllabus will provide you with in-depth knowledge of additive manufacturing processes for metallics, polymers and composites, from principles of operation to fundamentals of material processing including rheology (powder and polymer melt), sintering mechanisms and models, crystallization characteristics. Properties and green credentials of the technology will also be discussed.
