INAU 132 — Introduction to Engineering Mechanics for 3D Printing
Credits: 3 Typically Offered: FALL This course offers an introduction to simplified engineering and mechanical principles as they apply to 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, designs, and products. Requires students to apply concepts related to simple force and stress analysis, material property selection, and deformation to their designs for the purpose of improving functional performance and overall printing success. Students will explore finishing and post processing techniques to enhance the final appearance and marketability of their printed work.
