Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
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, one practical workshop, and a personal project (bibliography survey).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Teaching will take place face-to-face, for as much as the sanitary situation allows. If necessary, some learning activities may take place remotely.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
If the health context requires it, face-to-face oral exam will be replaced by an oral exam in viosioconference.
Similarly, oral presentation of the students'personal project may be organised in visioconference if necessary.
Recommended or required readings
Powerpoint presentations and publications from scientific literature will be made available for the students via eCampus.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Assessment will be based on an oral exam, i.e. 40% on a presentation of the personal project, 60% on course materials.

Organizational remarks
The course begins in week 3, on Thursday October 1st (Lectures of September 17th and 24th are cancelled).
