IJM 1110 - 3D Printing

Clock Hours: 10

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
This course will help the student understand how 3D printing is being applied across a number of domains, including design, manufacturing, and retailing. It will also demonstrate the special capabilities of 3D printing such as customization, self-assembly, and the ability to print objects. This course will provide an overview of how you can use this framework to develop ideas that can be turned into objects for this new technology.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Demonstrate knowledge of key historical factors that have shaped manufacturing over the centuries.
Explain current and emerging 3D printing applications in a variety of industries.
Evaluate real-life scenarios and recommend the appropriate use of 3D printing technology.
Identify opportunities to apply 3D printing technology for time and cost savings.
Explain the difference between X, Y and Z co-ordinates.
Modify sizes of a CAD model.
Design a basic model to scale with given measurements.
Design and print objects containing moving parts without assembly.
