Presentation
From computer design to the production of a polymer part
Know-how and skills
Introduction to the use of various (free) digital chain software (CAD: OnShape, preparation: Cura and PreForm)
Use of various FDM polymer 3D printers
Training benefits
Use of various polymer 3D printers FDM
(Stratasys, Ultimaker, Zortrax, Witbox, Formlab) or SLS (Lisa)
Training takes place in small groups to enable experimentation and hands-on practice
Alternating theory (25%)/practice (75%)
Lecturers are teacher-researchers from the University of Montpellier working in the following fields: design, mechanical design, CAD, additive manufacturing, etc.
Program
Training program:
- Discover the different existing technologies/processes (polymer and metal), their characteristic quantities, the materials available and typical application examples
- Understand the constraints and limits of these new processes and the consequences for design
- Master the different stages of the digital chain (from CAD model to manufactured part)
- Design and model a part in CAD software for additive manufacturing, prepare production from a CAD file
- Start production on an FDM or SLS (polymer) machine
- Finish parts after production
- Understand machine safety and maintenance.
