Additive Manufacturing Technician
The Additive Manufacturing Technicians are responsible for the smooth operation of 3D printing machines, including setup, maintenance, and repairs of equipment. They understand the fundamentals of additive manufacturing, the functioning of different systems, and the benefits of each technology. Key tasks include preparing and managing print files, ensuring adherence to quality standards, diagnosing and performing maintenance, and selecting appropriate printing materials for specific applications. They ensure quality control throughout the process, from preparing the system to operating basic tasks on the 3D printer.
Lesson 1 - Observation of a 3D Printer at work.
Students will be asked to observe and modify parameters of a Digital Simulation of a 3D Printer at work.
At the end of the activity the students will be ale to
They will be asked to: a) observe the parameters through the Digital Twin Interface, b) detect the different parts of the 3d Printer, c) to describe the process.
Lesson 2 - 3D printing
Students are given multiple product design files in formats commonly used by industry-standard CAD/CAM software. These files must be converted into a format compatible with 3D printers using free online conversion tools. Specifically, the designs will be exported in STL format for this purpose.
