MET 321Changing World of 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping3.0

This course is an introduction and survey of rapid-prototyping, especially centered on the advent, impact, and utility of 3D printers and supporting digital technology: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. The course will cover both the concepts and practice of 3D printing and prototyping, emphasizing hands-on work developing computer-based design models (“drawings”) and fabricating prototypes (“parts”) using current tools for desktop manufacturing including 3D printers, laser cutters, desktop engravers, and micromolding and printing. With this knowledge and skill set, students will be able to design, develop and demonstrate a working product suitable for commercialization.

MET 322Design for Manufacturing and Assembly3.0

One of the final steps in creating a marketable product is the manufacturing of the components. Throughout the design process, engineers must fully understand a variety of processes in which parts can be produced and assembled. Selecting a manufacturing method and ensuring the parts are capable of production is a difficult but critical part of the product design process. This course will allow students to apply the theory of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) to the overall design process. Topics include practical techniques for selection of materials and processes, design considerations for production, manual assembly and automated assembly, and Boothroyd and Dewhurst methods. Students review case studies and analyze production assemblies.
