EGBB 3002 - 3D Printing Basic Principles II

Please complete EGBB 3001 before starting this module. In this module you will learn why and when Additive Manufacturing (AM) might be a good choice as a manufacturing technique, and how AM is different from subtractive manufacturing processes such as CNC. It’s not just about the technology. Some key cost comparisons need to be made in order to decide which approach is better for each particular project. You will also learn about other key related technologies, such as 3D scanning, and the wide range of 3D software that is used in product development as it relates to AM. Finally, you will learn about the original AM technology and its inventor.
