Modern manufacturing processes have had a major effect on production industries. Amongst these processes, additive manufacturing has redefined the constraints within which engineers design products. With its unprecedented capability to delivery complex geometries, additive manufacturing has allowed engineers to venture beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline and create a new generation of engineering solutions. This unit provides an overview of advanced manufacturing processes including additive technologies and hybrid processes and teaches students the principles of design for these processes to enable them to utilise the new capabilities afforded by these technologies within the new constraints that are imposed by them.
On successful engagement with the unit the participants should be able to:
A blended learning approach will be used in this unit where concepts are delivered in a flipped framework, with videos and other e-learning material being available before problem classes. Contact time is used for exploring particularly complex concepts and problem solving. Practical sessions using 3D printers will be used to scaffold ILO2 and provide the practical foundation for ILO3.
