Learning outcomes
The course – accessible by both students and professionals from Association of Engineers- aims to provide the bases for the study of additive manufacturing techniques (or 3D printing), following the growing demand from various fields of application, in the industrial and the medical world.

The course will provide basic elements on the additive technologies available on the market, on the materials that can be used, on the potential applications in the medical, architectural and engineering (civil and mechanical) fields.

The lessons, organized by experts in the various sectors, will provide the student with a broad vision of the potential of additive technologies in the various fields.
Course contents
Topics covered in the course include:

Introduction to additive technologies.

Introduction to printable materials, with a focus on metallic, polymeric and biocompatible materials.
