3D printing and applicationsLaajuus (5 cr)

Code: K502K311OJ

Credits

5 op

Objective

Course goal is to get to know to 3D printing of polymers (plastic materials) through different printing technologies (FDM, SLA, SLS).
A 3D printable product/assembly will be designed and implemented in the course, in which suitable 3D printing technology will be chosen through Process selection for AM.
