LAB OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Course objectives

Provide the theoretical and practical abilities to fabricate a functional component via Additive Manufacturing technologies. In particular: - cabability to manage, repair and process a 3D model; - choice of the process parameters taking into account the post-processing and the further secondary operations; - spread among several secondary operations typical of AM technologies; predict the cost and time needed for the entire process.
