Advanced Additive Manufacturing

Advanced procedures, processes, materials, software and equipment of additive manufacturing (AM, 3D printing). Advanced approach to product design in AM, AM material properties and post processing. Fundamentals of phenomena occurring in AM processes, simulation and optimization of them and process control of AM. Many industrial cases with large background of them. Cost estimation, business potential and markets in AM. Advanced future trends and potential of additive manufacturing. Course has also invited lecturers from industry to provide comprehensive industrial approach to AM and its applications. The student and the teacher plan the content of the project work jointly. Project work deals with fundamental issue or problem related to AM. The project work topic can be given by teacher, provided by student or can also relate to any practical area in industry. After the project plan is accepted, the students do the project according to the plan. Any major deviations from the plan are discussed with the stakeholders.
