Title
Designing Parts for 3D Printing (1 credit hours)
Course Description
Fusion deposition manufacturing (aka 3D printing) has evolved from a laboratory curiosity to an essential tool, much like the way that personal computers have evolved.  3D printing is now commonly used for small quantity fabrication and quick prototyping.  For this reason, it is becoming a necessity that designers and engineers know more about the way 3D printers work in order to produce effective and efficient designs.  Engineers and designers have worked for years designing parts to be made by the traditional fabricating methods and they will find that what works for castings, machined parts, sheet metal, stampings, forgings and weldments does not work very well with 3D printing.  Traditional fabrication is mainly a process of removing material to make objects where 3D printing involves adding material to make objects.  Some existing parts have to be completely redesigned if they are to be made by a 3D printer.
