151-0740-00LMetal Additive Manufacturing – Fundamentals and Process Technology4 credits2V + 2UM. Bambach, L. Deillon, A. K. Eissing
AbstractThis lecture gives an introduction to the fundamentals and process technology of additive manufacturing processes with a focus on metals. The principles and technologies of laser powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition as well as sintering processes will be introduced.
ObjectiveThe students will learn
- the physics of the most important metal additive manufacturing processes including the interaction of energy sources (laser, electron beams, arc/plasma) and metals, the phenomena occurring during melting and solidification, the generation of stresses and defects
- the capabilities and limits of these processes
- the digital aspects of the process chains including preparation of geometries, slicing, hatching etc. including assessment of printability of a design
- working principles of machines, equipment and technology
- basics of sensors and process control
- post processing steps and interaction with AM material
- future trends in metal AM
