This course covers the integral role of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in additive manufacturing, a technique that significantly reduces product lifecycle time. It explores the importance of CAD in rapid prototyping, discussing topics such as the printing process, CAD file formats, CAD CAM software, modelling, data processing, and issues related to STL and AMF file formats. The course also delves into the process of converting a CAD model into a machine-understandable format and the importance of design considerations in additive manufacturing. It further highlights the common issues faced in additive manufacturing, such as feature resolution, surface roughness, and geometric accuracy. The course also provides a comprehensive understanding of Metal Additive Manufacturing, focusing on the basic processes involved, including powder bed fusion, direct energy deposition, binder jetting, and emerging metal additive manufacturing processes like material extrusion, material jetting, and sheet lamination.
This course has been developed by Prof. Janakranjan Ramkumar, Prof. Amandeep Singh Oberoi from IIT Kanpur for NPTEL.
