Additive Manufacturing with Polymers ((3 Units))

Catalog description

Prerequisites: PLYE 321 , PLYE 422 , senior standing and full admission to an engineering major in the College of Engineering and Polymer Science. This course presents the essence of additive manufacturing technology of polymers to keep senior undergraduate students abreast on the paradigm shift in manufacturing of products that vary widely in dimensions, e.g., from a few millimeters to almost a meter with minimal wastes. Cases of additive manufacturing with thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers are discussed. Product designs, machines, and materials selection are covered. (Formerly 9841:424)
