This specialization will help you understand how prototyping can be accelerated by the use of 3D printing. It first provides insights into the core processes in engineering and product design & development to bring out the importance of prototyping. It then guides learners through different types and characteristics of prototypes, and the different ways of producing prototypes. Learners are then introduced to a wide array of 3D printing technologies and their capabilities to develop a skill in choosing optimal 3D printing tools for a given type of prototype. Learners who complete this specialization will obtain a rich understanding of the key roles of prototyping in engineering and product development processes, and how to use various types of 3D printing technologies for the right applications in prototyping.

What's inside

Three courses

Engineering and Product Design Processes

Welcome to “Engineering and Product Design Processes!” This short course teaches engineering and product design processes. You will learn the steps in both design processes, their main goals, and their similarities and differences.

Prototyping

In this course, you will learn about prototyping, including what it is, why it's useful, and how to create prototypes. You will also learn about the tools available for creating prototypes.

3D Printing Technology Deep Dive and Use Cases

Welcome to “Introduction to 3D Printing Technology Deep Dive!” In this short course, you will learn the fundamentals of 3D printing, including its working principles, applications, and limitations. After the course, you will be able to select the appropriate 3D printing technology for creating effective prototypes.

Learning objectives

  • students will analyze how engineering and product design processes are carried out as well as distinguish the steps in both design processes.
  • students will examine the what, why, and how of prototyping.
  • Students will investigate the working principles, applications, and limitations of various 3d printing technologies.
