Course Details

Overview

The 2024 APS DPOLY Short Course on the Polymer Physics of Additive Manufacturing (AM) aims to serve as a polymer/soft matter physics-oriented introduction to core and emerging additive manufacturing techniques and industries. The course will connect the physics of polymeric materials and non-equilibrium processing to the properties of manufactured parts. Talks will cover experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches to the AM of polymers. Specific AM techniques will include thermoplastic extrusion, photopolymerization (including both layer-by-layer and volumetric approaches), direct ink writing, powder bed fusion, and bioprinting. Speakers will be drawn from academia, national laboratories, and industry.
