AMR337 Additive Manufacturing (20 credits)

Year Running: 2021/2022

Credit level: F6

Pre Uni Qualification

A Levels at grade B or above, including a Mathematical based subject and a Science, Technology, Engineering or additional Mathematics related subject, or 120 credits Engineering BTEC at level 3. Plus 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above.

Description

This unit aims to provide a student with a practical introduction to the theory and growing use of additive manufacturing processes, a method by which digital 3D design data is used to build up an artefact in layers by depositing material. The unit explores the main categories of additive manufacture, their process steps (pre and post build), technology and materials. The unit also considers the engineering characteristics, typical applications, and benefits and limitations of the artefacts made using the various additive manufacturing processes.
