<p>Lecture, four hours. Examination of various styles of 3D printing in plastic and metal space. Examination of material and design constraints of each technology. Exploration of end-use applications for each technology. Culminates in design project in which students select product for re-design to take advantage of additive manufacturing. Students use basic computer-aided design skills to modify existing product, select print technology and material to generate that object, and then produce report looking at cost-benefit analysis of using 3D printing in chosen application. Letter grading.</p>
