Course Description
Technology is a fascinating world where a large number of people are constantly working in search of innovations that contribute to the well-being of humanity.
Thus, we currently have a great technological advance known as 3D printing or additive manufacturing, which refers to the process by which a 2D file becomes a real or 3D model, using a printing machine that reproduces the designs in 3D. In this way, volumetric prototypes are created that adjust to the needs of different users.
In this micro-course, you will learn about the industries that are experimenting with changes thanks to 3D printing and its many futuristic and wonderful applications.
Units
Unit 1
Disrupting the Manufacturing Industry
The use of 3D printers has been carried out in recent years, mainly in the Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer Products, Education, Medicine, Dentistry, etc. sectors. which have improved their production processes by developing from conceptual designs to end-use parts. But perhaps you will wonder, what are the uses of 3D printers in the manufacturing industry? Find out in the following articles!
Let's zoom out from the individual pieces that make up a 3D printer and think about the impact of this emerging technology in the manufacturing industry. The online resources in the materials section explore more opinions on the benefits and challenges of 3D printing.
Unit 2
Revolutionary 3D Printing Applications
The 3D printing revolution has been disrupting various industries for years! Learn how 3D printing technology is used to produce tissues and organs, build houses in a matter of days, and even create food arts.
After you check out the materials, think, critique, and evaluate the impact 3D printing technology has on industries, the economy, and how we live our everyday lives!
