Smart Additive Manufacturing System (classroom & Asynchronous)

• . Conventional manufacturing processes has its constraints in capabilities for fabricating complex shaped components or products at fast turn-around time or at low manufacturing cost, particularly for customisation based production under the high-mix-low-volume business demand. Additive manufacturing is an emerging manufacturing process technologies addressing the gap.
• This module will learn new additive manufacturing processes to fabricate metallic and polymeric components.
• The trainees will learn the entire process flow (pre- and post-processes) that is critical for the fabrication of metallic and polymeric components.
• With the guidance of experts in additive manufacturing, learners will be able to get hands-on experience on reverse engineering and learn to conduct computational analysis and topology optimization for AM.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, the learner will be able to perform the following activities:

• Review component requirements to shortlist appropriate AM processes
• Review the requirements for operating AM equipment and appropriate materials for AM processes
• Evaluate AM techniques and systems to compare their strengths and limitations
• Plan the integration of AM into manufacturing processes
• Evaluate use of reverse engineering processes for components, through 3D scanning and subsequent AM
• Perform computational stress, buckling and frequency analyses of component models for given boundary conditions and load cases
• Determine the optimum geometries of components for given load cases for AM
• Apply techniques to optimise support structure selection and part orientations prior to printing
