Lightweight Design for Additive Manufacturing

Challenges for engineers and designers to create more efficient parts are rising. One way to address this demand is the use of Lightweight Design for Additive Manufacturing. In recent years, this production method has evolved from prototyping to a serial production process. The most important topic of layer-wise technologies is to take into account the entire end-to-end process.
In this course, the students gain knowledge on this technology and processes. During the week, participants will design and create a device from scratch to take home. Based on practical design and manufacturing lessons in the workshop, all participants get in direct contact with the total process chain.

Course leader

In each class, the hands-on courses are led by experts from practice who support you in taking a global perspective on the challenges ahead.

Target group

All Master's degree students in the fields of STEM/engineering studies. Also senior year's Bachelor’s degree students can apply for a place in the pogramme.

Course aim

At the end of the course students should be able to
• utilize methods in design for layer-wise technology,
• recognize the complete end-to-end process,
• understand the challenges of designing parts and operating machines.
