Course Objective

Rapid Prototyping (RP) can be defined as a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.
This course covers RP techniques that are currently commercially available, including Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Solid Ground Curing (SGC), and Three dimensional printing (3DP) techniques. Application fields of these processes will be discussed One term-project will be given and evaluations will be used for measuring the success of the students.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To know the fundamental principles of rapid prototyping processes
2   To understand the application field of rapid prototyping processes
3   To decide which technique is more efficient for several material production
4   To choose the right technique for nanotechnological applications
5   To characterize and develop rapid prototyped products
