Material Jetting and Stereolithography

Arizona State University via Coursera

Overview

This course looks at two photopolymer resin-based processes: material jetting and stereolithography. We walk through the build preparation, printing, and post-processing for both processes, and discuss the kinds of applications for which these processes are well suited. The necessary elements for each course are lecture videos, knowledge checks, and project completion. For additional information on certain topics, I've included supplemental readings and videos throughout various lessons that might enhance your knowledge. Because all resources are not available to all students, these materials are optional. In addition, you will note that some of the lectures feature our department’s graduate students. These excellent students are sometimes closer to the material, having learned it recently, so we greatly appreciate their participation in the instructional process.

  • Module 3.1: Material Jetting
    • This module introduces you to material jetting.
  • Module 3.2: Stereolithography
    • This module introduces you to stereolithography.
  • Module 3.3: Course Project and Wrap-Up
    • This module highlights the feature of material jetting that distinguishes it from most other additive manufacturing processes: it can combine multiple materials into a print with ease. You will work with experimental data to relate the ratio of material mixture to the hardness as measured with a durometer.
