ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING – INTEGRATION INTO UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS OF UZBEKISTAN.
Keywords:
3D printing technologies, CAD, CAE, CAM, rapid prototyping, educational programAbstract
Additive Manufacturing (AM), or commonly known as 3D printing technologies, have been first developed for rapid prototyping and now they are being used for rapid manufacturing. The main reason is that the AM technologies have greater advantages compared to conventional manufacturing, allowing production of final products with optimized performance and complex shape. This paper studies the growing attention to the AM by research institutes and the offered AM courses by Politecnico di Torino. Based on this study, the integration into university programs of Uzbekistan and the implimentation of AM centers in the utilisation of the AM benefits are discussed.
