 Main learning objectives

Acquire the vocabulary necessary to navigate the complex,

multivariate landscape of additive manufacturing equipment,
materials, and applications.

Understand the operating principles of each mainstream AM

process and how these principles govern its performance and
limitations.

Learn to identify how, when, and where additive manufacturing

can create value across the entire product lifecycle, from design
concepts to end-of-life.
 Main learning objectives

Acquire the skills to design parts for AM that combine

engineering intuition with computationally-driven design and
process-specific constraints.

Quantitatively assess the value of an additively manufactured

part based on its production cost and performance.

Evaluate the business case for transitioning a product to be

additively manufactured vs. traditionally manufactured, in part or
in whole.

Develop a cutting-edge perspective on digital transformation

and the factory of the future.
