Materials processing is an essential component of manufacturing. In this module, you will gain a detailed understanding of main processing methods used in manufacturing. This module presents materials physicochemistry concepts underlying processing technologies (including dislocations and properties of
thermoplastics) and presents key methodologies enabling manufacturing using metals (joining, cutting), ceramics (sintering) and polymers (molding, hot pressing, extrusion). Beyond well-established processing technologies, the module gives a broad introduction to additive manufacturing and 3D printing platforms.
