Objective

Student learns the basics of additive manufacturing and the applications via book exam.

This course does not contain any teaching or laboratories. It provides theoretical information about 3D printing required in future practical 3D printing work.

Execution methods

Book exam in Moodle.

Accomplishment methods

Book exam in Moodle.

Content

The student gets to know the material and performs the exam in Moodle on given time (to be agreed with the participants).

Topic that are included:
- Introduction to AM and basic principles
- General additive manufacturing process
- Different AM technologies (VAT photopolymerization, powder bed fusion, extrusion based systems, material jetting, binder jetting, direct energy deposition, sheet lamination). Focused on FDM-technology.
- Post-processing of the print
- DFAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing)
- AM product design process and printing process chart

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Opiskelija tuntee lisäävän valmistuksen periaatteet mutta ei osaa soveltaa teoreettista tietoa käytäntöön.
Käytännön sovellusten tunteminen on puutteellista.
Opiskelija suoriutuu välttävästi opintojakson vaatimuksista teoreettisen tiedon suhteen.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Opiskelija tuntee lisäävän valmistuksen periaatteet ja osaa soveltaa niitä käytännön tilanteissa.
Opiskelija kykenee havaitsemaan lisäävän valmistuksen mahdollisuuksia käytännön sovelluksissa ja yritysten toiminnassa.
Opiskelija tuntee suunnitteluperiaatteet ja osaa soveltaa niitä erilaisissa yhteyksissä.
Opiskelija ymmärtää lisäävän valmistuksen taloudelliset tekijät.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Opiskelija osaa soveltaa lisäävän valmistuksen teoriaa itsenäisesti käytäntöön ja analysoimaan tekniikan eri osa-alueita. Opiskelija osaa havaita, miten lisäävää valmistusta voitaisiin hyödyntää yritysten toiminnassa ja tunnistaa tätä varten erilaisia mahdollisuuksia.
