 ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY (ME744PE)
I. COURSE PURPOSE:

This course bridges gap between idea and production. Rapid prototyping is a group of
methods used to rapidly manufacture a scale model of a physical part or assembly
using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD), Computed Tomography (CT)
and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. Construction of the part or assembly is
usually done using 3D printing technology. Rapid prototyping techniques are often
referred to solid free; computer automated manufacturing, form fabrication. This
course covers the knowledge of rapid prototyping systems.
