Product development by additive manufacturing

About the course

General information

The course is project based and students are going to work together in cross-disciplinary groups focusing on the development of the additive manufacturing chain for specific components/applications. Participants will write a report detailing their project, problem analysis with particular emphasis on AM, and proposed solution for the entire process chain, including a rough cost evaluation to understand the feasibility of AM applications. At the end of the project period the groups will present their results in a short workshop.

The purpose of the motivation letter is to assist the teachers in grouping students with respect to background and interests.

If you have a specific project idea in mind which would be suited to this frame of work, please don’t hesitate to include it as well.
