Learning outcomes
The course – accessible by both students and professionals from Association of Engineers- aims to provide the theoretical and practical bases for the study of additive manufacturing techniques (or 3D printing), which responds to the growing demand from various application fields of industrial and medical world. Students will be provided the basic elements for 3D printing materials used, the theoretical and virtual modeling, the application potential and the impact on business competitiveness levels and their business models. Additive manufacturing cuts across many sectors and opens up lines of research and applications in industrial engineering and architectural fields (materials, prototyping, component for the construction industry), mathematics (modeling and numerical simulation), chemical-pharmaceutical ( biocompatible and drug delivery systems), medical (patient-specific models and prosthetics), socio-economic (training and dissemination of technology, sustainability, business models), humanities (cinematography and art history).
