DFAB 105 Design for Additive Manufacturing. Design criteria for a variety of additive manufacturing processes will be covered in this course. Students will gain additional knowledge in solid and parametric modeling as it pertains to additive manufacturing design criteria. A variety of design techniques for additive technologies including stereolithography (SLA) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) will be explored.
Prerequisites: DFAB 104 with a minimum grade of 50%
Corequisite: DFAB 106

Teaching and Learning Approach
Participation and collaborations are essential to get the best result in this course. Delivery of the content is done
by lectures and presentations and by sharing content via Moodle. While there are predefined assignments that
must be completed, there will be opportunities for exploratory learning based on students skills and interests.Learning Resources
Moodle is the primary way resources will be shared with the students during this course.Detailed Course Content, Topics, and Sequence Covered
