Course Description
Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) and related technologies help in solving problems in industries like product and design manufacturing and construction. Still, the materials are high in embodied energy, nearly 50-150 MJ/Kg. More importantly, using sustainable materials and enhancing the design that reduces the amount of material used helps to a large extent in minimizing the negative effect of the 3D printing technology. The objective of this course is to teach students the direction of digital design in such a way that the materials for 3D Printing will be less consumed. It also equips the students with knowledge of sustainable materials, including recycled filaments and new bio-composite materials, such as polymers from algae or wood, their application and their impact on the environment. In the same way, students will be introduced to a subject called 4D Printing, which is one of the stages of the advancement of Printing. Where materials, in this case, are subjected to property change in response to environmental conditions. The course includes theoretical lectures, case studies and practical assignments; the students will learn about materials and design. Students with programming and design will be able to use their knowledge and skills acquired by this course to design innovative and sustainable solutions and products. |
