Course 12: Additive Manufacturing for Industry 4.0
(Syllabus)
Last Update: February 1, 2020
Course Objective:
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a technology supporting the sustainable rapid development of personalized complex design in various disruptive applications, especially in manufacturing and medical. This course aims to build student competence in AM and related technology. The students will learn fundamental knowledge of Additive Manufacturing and Reverse Engineering (RE) and their applications in manufacturing, medical and other sectors. Besides, the students will be proficient in practice design for additive manufacturing.
Learning Outcomes: The students on the completion of this course would be able to:
-
- CLO1: Apply knowledge on additive manufacturing, and reverse engineering in a variety of domains (apply);
- CLO2: Investigate process parameters for effective additive manufacturing (create);
- CLO3: Differentiate principles behind additive manufacturing and reverse engineering technologies available in the market (analyze);
- CLO4: Select an appropriate AM technology based on preset optimisation criteria (eg. cost, quality, time/ available resources) (evaluate);
- CLO5: Apply design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) in practice for the development of new products (apply);

Laboratory Sessions:
During each laboratory students undertake the following activities:
identify a need, design & develop a CAD model of a product, simulate the working movements in the CAD environment, optimize the 3D printing parameters for the function of the product, 3D print the product components, post process each component, assembly the product and demonstrate functionality.
Laboratory 1: Design and 3D print a master part; manufacture a silicone mold for rapid casting of epoxy resin.
Laboratory 2: Design and 3D print a non-demountable assembly (ex.: a whistle with the pellet inside);
Laboratory 3: Design and 3D print a functional gear assembly (use cylindrical, helical, conical or rack gears);
Laboratory 4: Reverse engineering of a mechanical part (engine cover and) and of an amorphous part (body part – hand, wrist)
Laboratory 5: Design and 3D print three joint types – cylindrical, spherical/ toroidal, universal joints (recommended application omni wheel)
Laboratory 6: Design and 3D print a Lithophane application (used pictures must be taken during the laboratory; a support must be designed for the 3D printed picture in order to incorporate the light source)
Laboratory 7: Design and 3D print a complex assembly with at least 8 moving parts (choose between: a mechanical iris or an adaptable phone/ camera mount)
