ME 474 Rapid Prototyping, 3D Printing, and Additive Manufacturing
Focus on rapid prototyping during an engineering design cycle to provide a comprehensive understanding of the methods, physical processes, resulting part attributes, and applications for the most common 3D printing technologies used by engineers. Both direct and indirect manufacturing processes are covered as well as some exposure to rapid manufacturing. Other topics include processing, part quality and metrology, 3D scanning, mesh manipulation and repair, and mechatronics review.
