Master DfAM principles, topology optimization, and process modeling with MATLAB to design high-performance, print-ready
What you'll learn
Understand the concept and importance of Design for Additive Manufacturing Differentiate between traditional manufacturing design and AM-based design Apply design rules for FDM, SLA, SLS, DMLS/SLM, and binder jetting Design parts with reduced support, better strength, lower weight, and improved printability Use concepts such as topology optimization, lattice structures, part consolidation, and generative design Evaluate part orientation, support requirement, surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and post-processing needs Prepare a complete DfAM-based product redesign case studyRequirements
Basic Understanding of Engineering Drawing / CADDescription
Unlock the true potential of 3D printing and transition from a traditional manufacturing mindset to the frontier of advanced engineering design.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers unprecedented geometric freedom, but hardware alone cannot revolutionize production-it requires a fundamental shift in how we design.Fundamentals of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) is a masterclass engineered for students, researchers, and professional engineers who want to bridge the gap between digital concepts, computational simulation, and flawless physical production.
This course goes far beyond basic 3D printing tutorials. You will dive deep into the physics, mathematical principles, and process-specific constraints that govern industrial AM. From mastering the geometric rules of polymer and metal systems to leveragingTopology Optimization (TO) to generate organic, load-path-following geometries, you will gain the exact skills needed to design components that are lighter, stronger, and completely optimized for the printer bed.
Who Is This Course For?
Mechanical & Materials Engineers looking to specialize in next-generation manufacturing technologies.Product Designers & CAD Technicians eager to master topology optimization and complex lattice structures.R&D Researchers & Academics seeking a rigorous, simulation-backed approach to AM process modeling.Engineering Students wanting a competitive, industry-ready skill set that bridges practical design with computational engineering. RequirementsBasic CAD Familiarity: Comfort with standard 3D modeling software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks, AutoCAD) is highly recommended.Foundational Engineering Concepts: A basic understanding of standard materials (polymers/metals) and introductory physics/mechanics.No prior additive manufacturing or MATLAB experience is required-we build from the fundamentals upward!Who this course is for
