Rapid Prototyping Technology

Course Description

RPT Concepts, Technologies, Definitions, and applications

Fast paced course for anyone who wants to understand what is RPT and Additive manufacturing.

The course has 5 parts:

• What is Rapid prototyping?
• What is Additive manufacturing
• Methodology of RPT
• Rapid prototyping cycling process
• The Technologies of RPT

We start by showing the step by step cyclic process of RPT and evolution of Additive manufacturing. After this we take an in depth looks at the many technologies that are part of RPT, describing their functions, technology requirements. Finally, we recap what we have learned providing hands on trained using the FDM machine and Wave wash tank uses.

Prerequisites and Target Audience

What will students need to know or do before starting this course?

Basic knowledge of CAD is needed and some mid-level understanding about the manufacturing methods. These will all be explained but prior understanding will simplify the session to be smooth.
