Multi-Process and Production Additive Manufacturing

Catalog description

Explores the creation of high-volume production strategies for a variety of parts and geometries. Demonstrates efficient production strategies, utilizing time and cost saving measures. Trains in the tracking of data as parts are produced, using additive technology to start and reductive technology to finish surfaces and meet tight tolerances. Compares, analyzes and uses different manufacturing strategies, based on the product produced, to determine advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as the potential return on investment. Audit available. modeling, reasoning, communication, connections with other disciplines, and the appropriate use of present-day technology. Prerequisite: MTH 111 or MTH 111Z or equivalent placement. Prerequisite/concurrent: WR 121 or WR 121Z. Audit available.
