Section Title:
Laser 3D Printing
Section Info:
The course addresses laser powder bed fusion (LPBD) 3D printing technology. The LPBF is an additive manufacturing (AM) process where a laser fuses particulate materials such as metals, polymers, or ceramics. The course includes an overview of the LPBD method, data preparation workflow, AM process chain, AM parameters-microstructure-property relations, post-processing, and case studies. EOS company will offer a summer internship to a top student in the class.

Section Title:
MicroNano Fabrication Capstone
Section Info:
This course is a hands-on micro-nano fabrication course. The student will be assigned a process topic including but not limited to spinning, exposure, PVD, RIE or ICP DRIE etching. Through in-lab training, the student will fabricate patterned test samples with micron scale resolution, then run a parameter study on the process. The student will then characterize the samples (SEM, profilometery, etc), analyze the results, and present the results for review. A report of the work accomplished, process used, and results will be provided for review. Students enrolled in this course will have a unique opportunity to fabricate and characterize micro-nano samples using modern techniques and equipment. Pre-requisites: Previously taken or concurrently enrolled in ME487 OR ME 586 OR ME 588 OR ECE444.
