ISEE-742 Metal and Composite Additive Manufacturing, Fall 2023, Fall 2024, Fall 2025 

Description: This course provides students with depth in the topics of metal additive manufacturing and composite additive manufacturing. For metal AM, established processes such as powder bed fusion, binder jetting, and bound particle extrusion will be covered as well as emerging processes such as molten metal droplet jetting, cold spray, friction stir, and joule heating. The composite AM portion of the course will focus on polymer matrix composite materials. The fundamentals of how fiber reinforcement and the polymer matrix interact will be covered, as will strategies for optimizing material properties though local control of fiber orientation. Students will use design tools for light weighting of structures via engineered lattice structures, generative design, and topology optimization.
