ME127 Design for Additive Manufacturing
Main content start
Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) combines the fields of Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Additive Manufacturing (AM). ME127 introduces the capabilities and limitations of various AM technologies and apply the principles of DfM in order to design models fit for printing. Students will use Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to create models and run simulations of their designs. Topics include: design for rapid prototyping, material selection, post-processing and finishing, CAD simulation, algorithmic modeling, additive tooling and fixtures, and additive manufacturing at scale.
