ADM 2040 - Advanced Additive Concepts

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 2 Lab 2
Course Description: This course covers advanced technologies and materials in additive manufacturing. It focuses on the use and operation of additive technologies such as Binder Jetting (BJ), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). Theory of operation, materials, and post processing methods are covered with each techonology.
