Common Service for Continuing Education
Presentation
From computer design to the realization of a polymer part
The advantages of the training
Use of various polymer 3D printers FDM
(Stratasys, Ultimaker, Zortrax, Witbox, Formlab) or SLS (Lisa)
The training takes place in small groups in order to be able to experiment and rely on practice
Alternating theory (25%)/practice (75%)
The lecturers are teacher-researchers from the University of Montpellier working on the following topics: design, mechanical design, CAD, additive manufacturing
Know-how and skills
Initiation to the use of various (free) software of the digital chain (CAD: OnShape, preparation: Cura and PreForm)
Use of various 3D polymer printers FDM
Program
Training program:
- Discover the different existing technologies/processes (polymer and metal), their characteristic quantities, the available materials and typical examples of application
- Understand the constraints and limits of these new processes and the consequences on the design
- Master the different steps of the digital chain (from the CAD model to the manufactured part)
- Design and model a part in a CAD software for additive manufacturing prepare the production from a CAD file
- Start a production on a FDM or SLS (polymer) machine
- Finish the parts after production
- Have notions of safety and maintenance of the machines
