3D Printing is a process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material. It brings a digital object (its CAD representation) into its physical form by adding layer by layer of materials. This course covers the history and introduction to the 3D printing process.
Every 3D print begins as a 3D model generated in a modeling program. Some of these softwares have several libraries, have direct integration with 3D printers and cover many facets of 3D creation such as modeling, animation, and simulation. This course covers the details related to the different 3D printing softwares.
3D printing materials come in a wide array of forms such as plastics, metals, alloys. To choose a material for 3D printing we have to factor in the application, function, and design of the component or product. In this course, learners will be able to understand material properties and how they play a very important role in creating different parts.
This course covers the basic understanding of the selective laser sintering process, the different systems and materials available on the market, the workflow for using SLS printers.
Applications of 3D printing cover a wide range of industries, including how the technology is being used across sectors. Using real-life examples, we hope that this course gives learners an in-depth understanding of how 3D printing is being used to drive innovation and business growth.
