Design for Additive Manufacturing - Part 2

September 30, 2020

About the Webinar:

This webinar aims to extend your knowledge about the unique design opportunities associated with Additive Manufacturing (AM). The webinar builds on the previous session which discusses design concepts applicable to AM and software tools including CAD and topology optimization. For this second part of the course, we will build our understanding of the digital thread by looking at the .STL and .AMF data transfer formats for AM. We will dive deep to recognise the manufacturing constraints that lead to general and process specific design rules so that you will avoid the common pitfalls. We will examine some of the important ISO/ASTM International standards and useful design guides available, plus a short overview regarding some of the resources when designing parts for the Covid-19 pandemic.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course learners will be able to:

  • Understand the concepts and objectives for AM design
  • Understand the design approach to Additive Manufacturing
  • Apply design considerations for unique design features in AM
  • Understand key design rules applied for AM design
  • Have knowledge of existing standards that can be applied for AM design

Who Should Attend

This webinar is intended for Design engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Research Engineers, Product designers, AM technicians, and CAD operators.

Instructor

Dr Eujn Pei is the Director for Postgraduate Research, and Director for Product Design Engineering at Brunel University London in the United Kingdom. His research focuses on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) and 4D Printing. He has a strong track record of generating new knowledge and finding solutions with a significant impact in the industry, being active in Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) with companies. He chairs the British Standards Institute AMT/8 committee that publishes standards for Additive Manufacturing. He is the Convenor for the International Organization for Standardization ISO/TC261/WG4 that develops global standards for Additive Manufacturing Data and Design; and also chairs ISO/TC261/JG67 that focuses on Functionally Graded Additive Manufacturing. Eujin is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a Chartered Technological Product Designer (CTPD) with the Institution of Engineering Designers. He is the Editor-in-Chief for the Progress in Additive Manufacturing Journal.
