Overview
This Additive Manufacturing course offered by Coursera in partnership with Arizona State University is designed to be an introduction to additive manufacturing (AM) with exposure to six different AM processes. The field of AM can be broadly divided into three elements: process, materials and design. This specialization will provide a broad overview of all three elements, which is an ideal preparation for more advanced courses that dive more deeply into the growing field of AM. This specialization covers build preparation, machine setup, and post-processing requirements for six different AM processes. In addition, learners will explore the cross-cutting aspects of AM, including part orientation, supports, design for additive manufacturing, key process parameters, and mechanical and surface properties.
What you'll learn
Students will compare and contrast different additive manufacturing processes and describe a typical AM process flow.
Students will identify three different modes of 3D printing: material extrusion, photopolymer resin processes, and powder bed fusion.
Students will apply the DfAM staircase framework to make additive manufacturing decisions.
