Fused Deposition Modeling Additive Manufacturing

Catalog description

Familiarizes students with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers: their functions, relevant design applications, choosing between and working with a variety of FDM materials, performing root cause analysis for print failures, and developing design solutions to enable successful and repeatable print programs and filament profiles. Introduces FDM printer hardware, maintenance, and subcategories of FDM printer motion systems. Includes how to identify and fix common hardware and software issues, and how FDM printer technology has changed and improved over time. Audit available.
