DFAB 203 Additive Manufacturing II introduces students to a variety of techniques, processes, and machines for additive manufacturing using a range of materials. Students will develop a strong focus on product design processes from concept to production, and the application of mechanical design principles and best practices to create complex multi-part assemblies using additive manufacturing.
Prerequisites: DFAB 106 with a minimum grade of 60%
