Metal Additive Manufacturing

ABOUT THE COURSE:The manufacturing technology has advanced greatly in the recent years with Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals now being extended to all sectors of industry such as aerospace, medical, and tooling. The fourth industrial revolution with the advent of IoT and digital manufacturing demands for quicker and modular manufacturing solutions which are well catered by metal AM Technologies. This course brings the introduction to the current status of metal AM basics, materials, processes, and major important related aspects to the table. The students, teachers, practitioners would benefit from this course in updating their skills in the modern technology. The course is supplemented with laboratory demonstrations practical experience. After completion of the course, the learners would be able to advance their prowess in AMin order to reduce the cost of production, improve the performance of fabricated parts, and achieve their defined targets in metal products manufacturing.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Students of all Engineering and Science disciplines.PREREQUISITES:The student should have completed two semesters of UG Engineering or Science program.INDUSTRY SUPPORT:HAL, NAL, SAIL, ISRO
