Deposition and Additive Technologies (FSI-9DAT)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Libor Pantělejev, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚMVI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the design process, manufacturing and parts production of 3D printing of polymers, ceramics and metallic materials, namely with tentative design of their own procedures.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The aim may be achieved by practical verification of theoretical knowledge in computer-aided exercises and laboratory works.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge from powder metallurgy procedures are expected and/or ceramic technology procedures. A knowledge of CAD systems may be advantageous.
Course contents:
A core of the course is seen in mastering the material aspects of additive technologies like selective laser melting, and/or with the use electron beam technology, cold kinetic deposition etc. Also 3D printing of ceramic and polymer materials will be included. This means to go through the powder precursors preparation, processing conditions selection, prepared material microstructures evaluation and relation to properties analyses and/or predictions. Students can apply acquired experience with “layer by layer” material preparation procedures for their own doctorate project realisation as, e.g. for materials with internal architecture creation, as well as, in future, they can contribute do additive processing of components in the technology level.
Teaching methods and criteria:
Lectures, consultations associated with self study of the literature, laboratory excercises.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit is awarded based on elaboration of the project and its presentation to other course participants.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is highly recommended.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Overview of additive technologies, their specialties and advantages for different materials.
2. Rapid prototyping of plastic parts, most often used materials and their technology properties.
3. Selective laser melting technology, basic processing parameters, weak points.
4. Most often metallic materials applied for additive technologies (aluminium alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steels).
5. 3D printing of ceramic materials, applied materials and components produced by this technology.
6. Practical realisation of the component design by selected available technology.
The content may be adjusted by extension of selected chapter according the doctorate project.
