The module covers modern automation and computation techniques through CAD/CAE programming interface (Application Programming Interface-API) as well as the use of Topology Optimization (TO) and Generative Design Technologies (GD). It focuses mainly on CAD systems programming methods as well as the connection of TO and GD technologies in the production of AM products.
The course is structured so that over 50% of teaching and learning time is focused on hands-on workshops and activities. This will allow students to acquire a set of skills that will enhance their employment prospects in the demanding Industrial sector. The core material is provided through synchronous and asynchronous learing platforms while the keynote lectures are used to explain the concepts of integrating CAD API, TO and GD systems into the development of Industrial products.
