ETCN 2300 — - 3D-Modeling and Prototyping
This course will study the types of Additive Fabrication (AS) or Additive Freeform Fabrication, as it is called in the industry. Topics include the history of Additive Manufacturing, the types of new generation machines used for A.M., and the types of materials, binders, and substrates used with this technology. Other topics include the size constraints, design constraints, and advantages and applications of this technology. The student will use SolidWorks and MasterCam as the manufacturing software to design and produce parts in the manufacturing lab using the Dimension SST 1200es CNC machine tool. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours Prerequisite(s): ENGR 1030 (may be taken concurrently) and ENGT 2090 (may be taken concurrently)
