| Prerequisites / Notice | - for students only participating in a Focus Project in the same semester - the exact schedule will be communicated during the course - it is expected, that every team is visiting each leacture with typically at least 2 team members | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 151-3215-00L | Design for Additive Manufacturing Please write a short motivation letter to apply for the course. The motivation letter should include why you intend to visit the course. Additionally, please mention what experience you have with relevant topics, such as CAD, project work, additive manufacturing (AM), simulation or design of experiments. Please also mention in the letter, if you already have a proposal for an AM component to be designed as part of the project or if you have a real-world challenge you could address by AM. Please send the letter to Julian Ferchow (email: ferchowj@ethz.ch). | 4 credits | 2G | M. Meboldt, J. Ferchow | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of components produced by additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. The course includes a project based on a real-world problem in which students design, fabricate and iteratively optimize functional AM parts using an appropriate AM technology. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | In this course fundamental knowledge of Design for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The course will prepare the students to: - Apply fundamental AM processes (metal and plastics) - Apply the AM design guidelines - Adopt AM in an industrial environment - Apply design tools and methods in AM - Create an added value of AM - Work in a project-based product development team | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Parallel to the lectures the students design, manufacture and test prototypes in a project in different product development stages. The course is addressing the following topics: - State of the art AM Processes for metal and plastics (LPBF, BJ, MJF, SLS, FDM) - Design guidelines in AM - Industrial adoption of AM - Value creation and business models for AM - Design tools and methods for AM - Quality management in AM - Industry cases of AM applications - Problem solving and creativity - Agile Development | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Script and handouts are available in PDF-format. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Abstract | Cross-disciplinary collaboration between engineers and medical doctors is indispensable for innovation in health care. This course will bring together engineering students from ETH Zurich and medical students from the University of Zurich to experience the rewards and challenges of such interdisciplinary work in a project based learning environment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The main goal of this course is to demonstrate the differences in communication between the fields of medicine and engineering. Since such differences become the most evident during actual collaborative work, the course is based on a current project in physiology research that combines medicine and engineering. For the engineering students, the specific aims of the course are to: - Acquire a working understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the investigated system; - Identify the engineering challenges in the project and communicate them to the medical students; - Develop and implement, together with the medical students, solution strategies for the identified challenges; - Present the found solutions to a cross-disciplinary audience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | After a general introduction to interdisciplinary communication and detailed background on the collaborative project, the engineering students will team up with medical students to find solutions to a biomedical challenge. In the process, they will be supervised both by lecturers from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, receiving coaching customized to the project. The course will end with each team presenting their solution to a cross-disciplinary audience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Handouts and relevant literature will be provided. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | IMPORTANT: Note that a special permission from the lecturers is required to register for this course. Contact the head lecturer to that end. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
