Presentation
From computer design to the production of a polymer part
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.
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
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.
