About the Course
Join Prof. David L. Bourell for this webinar on September 11, 2019 from 2:00 - 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potent collection of manufacturing processes. They are economically applicable for certain types of manufactured goods and production runs. This overview will describe the rationale for using AM instead of a conventional manufacturing process for a given manufacturing run. Examples of broad application areas based on this rationale will be presented. This presentation gives a description of the seven ISO/ASTM categories of AM processes. The process chain for additive manufacturing (AM) is considerably larger than just the layerwise fabrication of parts. This course will describe all aspects of the process chain.

About the Instructor
Prof. David L. Bourell is the Temple Foundation Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He is currently Director of the Laboratory for Freeform Fabrication. Dr. Bourell's areas of research include particulate processing with emphasis on sintering kinetics and densification, and materials issues associated with Laser Sintering (LS).
Professor Bourell is a leading expert in advanced materials for Laser Sintering, having worked in this area since 1988. Dave was the lead author on the original materials patent for LS technology. Issuing in 1990, this patent has been cited by over 200 other patents, and it represents the original intellectual property for mixed and coated powders for LS, including binders. Since 1995, he has chaired the organizing committee for the Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium – An Additive Manufacturing Conference. This meeting is a leading research conference on additive manufacturing and is the oldest, continuously running conference on AM in the world. He holds 9 primary patents dealing with materials innovations in LS dating back to 1990 and has published 250 papers in journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. He is a founding member of the ASTM F42 Technical Committee on Additive Manufacturing and currently serves on the ten-member ASTM/ISO Joint Group 51 on Terminology for AM. Dr. Bourell is a Fellow of ASM International and TMS, and he is also a lifetime member of TMS. In 2009, he received the TMS Materials Processing and Manufacturing Division Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award. In 2017, he received the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Albert M. Sargent Progress Award for "significant accomplishments in the field of manufacturing processes".
