Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Raw material : powder production and characterisation Additive manufacturing processes : principles and consolidation mechanisms, critical parameters, post-treatments, relations between processing parameters, internal structure (porosities, microstructures...) and parts properties.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Explain the physical and physico-chemical phenomena underlying the consolidation of a part produced by additive manufacturing.
- Describe the relations between the processing and/or post-processing parameters, the structure of a part (porosity, microstructures...) and its usage properties.
- Describe and class the main additive manufacturing processes. Make an informed choice between these processes.
- Establish the state-of-the-art concerning a specific issue in relation with additive manufacturing, based on technical and scientific documentations. Give a clear and critical oral presentation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge in Materials Science: Structures and properties of metallic materials, polymers... (e.g. as envisaged in the course PHYS0904 : Physics of materials or other similar courses)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course consists in ex-cathedra lectures, in visits, and in a personal project (bibliography survey).
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings
Powerpoint presentations and publications from scientific literature will be made available for the students via internet (details will be given in class).
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment will be based on an oral exam, i.e. 40% on a presentation of the personal project, 60% on course materials.
