MS4642 ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF MATERIALS

The aim of this course is to provide a practical overview of Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques and the impact of their process flows on the properties of the materials produced. Students will be taught how to critically evaluate the advantages, limitations and material compatibility of each AM technique. The coursework will provide students with the means to select the most appropriate AM technique and optimize the processing parameters for their needs. It will also include recent advances in AM to ensure students stay abreast with the most cutting-edge developments, allowing their knowledge to be relevant and industry-ready upon graduation. This course is most suitable for material scientists and engineers who would like to understand more about the possibilities of material processing through AM and for process engineers and scientists to understand more about the effect of AM processes on the material properties.
