DPT 150Intro Engineering Mech 3Dprint

Catalog

Provides an introduction to simplified engineering mechanical principles as they apply to 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, designs and products. Requires students to apply concepts related to simple force and stress analysis, material property selection, and deformation to their designs for the purpose of improving functional performance and overall printing success. Explores finishing and post processing techniques to enhance the final appearance and marketability of their printed work. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours). Laboratory: 1 credit (30 contact hours).
