Prerequisites
A knowledge of the fundamental concepts of the following teachings is preferable: Mathematical Analysis, Physics, Biomechanics and simulation of biomedical devices, Elements of computational mechanics
Learning outcomes
During the course the student will acquire skills on the functioning of the main Additive Manufacturing technologies and on the entire prototyping process, from the creation of virtual models (through CAD design and reconstruction from medical images) to the generation of the code for production.
The student will also acquire skills on the mechanical behavior of materials made by means of Additive Manufacturing and on their mechanical characterization, with particular reference to FDM technology.
During the course, problems and advantages of Additive Manufacturing technologies will be also explored and the fundamentals of computer aided design for the production of advanced components will be introduced.
