Overview

Additive manufacturing allows components to be produced with reduced weight, reduced part count, less scrap, and increased complexity compared to conventional manufacturing processes. However, components must be redesigned to take advantage of these advantages. This unit introduces you to the principles of design for additive manufacturing; the optimisation of designs; … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1.

Identify, interpret and analyse manufacturing options for simple components primarily from an engineering perspective, but also considering the cost of manufacture.

2.

Use creative design methodologies and skills to re-design parts for additive manufacturing.

3.

Use computer modelling techniques to optimise design for additive manufacturing, whilst accounting for the limitations of the methods.

4.

Produce and evaluate a finished part from design to manufacture.

5.

Generate findings in both written and verbal formats and critique and evaluate the work of others.

6.

Engage in regular self-assessment and peer-assessment of individual and team performance as a primary means of tracking continuing professional development.

Assessment summary

Continuous assessment: 50%

Final assessment: 50%

This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
