The course deals with:

• Technologies and materials for metal additive manufacturing (with a focus on parameters and components in Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion and Direct Energy Deposit),
• Technologies and material forms for polymer additive manufacturing (with a focus on parameters and components in Fused Deposit Modelling, stereolithography, binder/material jetting, selective laser sintering),
• Post-processing of metals and polymers in additive manufacturing
• Applications, design considerations and software for additive manufacturing

After passing the course, the student should be able to:

1. Summarise and explain various additive manufacturing (AM) processes
2. Describe and analyse the limitations, possibilities, applications and the materials that are used  in different AM techniques

For higher grades, the student should furthermore be able to:

       Identify and analyse design possibilities, based on specific requirements and AM techniques
Explain the role of important parameters and machine components

The main material is reflected in the lecture notes. Extra literature is available in CANVAS.

Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:

Funka - compensatory support for students with disabilities

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

• PROA - Project work, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
• TENA - Written examination, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
