About Additive Manufacturing
GoConqr OriginalWhat this page covers
This unit collects study material on additive manufacturing, the family of processes that build parts layer by layer. The resources are mostly mind maps and flashcard decks, with a small set of quizzes. They were made by GoConqr users, so each one reflects a particular course or set of lecture notes.
Where to start
Begin with the basics. The flashcard deck Introduction to Additive Manufacturing and the deck Part 1: Additive Manufacturing – Definition, technologies, history, background set out the vocabulary and the background. Then try 7 ASTM Processes to sort the main process families. The deck called Additive Manufacturing goes into stereolithography (SLA), with its advantages, disadvantages and applications, then moves on to Polyjet and inkjet printing methods. It also asks why part orientation in the build chamber matters.
Rapid prototyping and materials
The Chapter 33 deck asks what rapid prototyping is and what the three types of starting materials are. For materials and part quality, look at the mind map POLYMER: Factors affecting Part Properties, Powder-Based Polymer Forming and Additive manufacturing of glass with laser powder bed fusion. For design questions, Tolerances in 3D printed static assemblies and 3D-Printing of Non-Assembly, Articulated Models are useful.
Applications by sector
A group of mind maps looks at where the technology is used. The consumer products maps cover lifestyle products, medical uses and jewellery, including gold-based jewellery printed with Direct Metal Laser Sintering. The energy maps list gas turbine repair and valve parts. The transport maps include fuel nozzles and rocket engine parts. The defence map covers printed prosthetics and surgical equipment. Teachers may find these handy for case-study discussion.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then close it and take a quiz such as AM Exam 1 Quizzes or Additive Manufacturing Exam 2 Prep. Note the topics you missed and go back to the matching map or deck. This unit sits in the Manufacturing strand of Mechanical engineering.
Pick one deck, work through it, then try a quiz to see what stuck.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the flashcard deck Introduction to Additive Manufacturing, or Part 1, which covers definition, technologies, history and background. Both give you the basic vocabulary. After that, the 7 ASTM Processes deck helps you sort the main process types before you move on to the more detailed maps.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 15 mind maps. Several look at applications in consumer products, energy, transport and defence. Others cover polymer part properties, powder-based polymer forming, tolerances in 3D printed assemblies, articulated models and glass printed with laser powder bed fusion. One also lists machine makers from several countries.
Are there quizzes on this page?
Yes, a few. They include AM Exam 1 Quizzes, Additive Manufacturing Exam 2 Prep and IES-L2-Additive Manufacturing. Use them after reading a map or deck to see which topics need another look. They sit alongside more than 10 flashcard decks for repeated recall.
Are these resources free, and who made them?
Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 20 contributors have added material, so the style and depth vary from one resource to the next.
Who is this page for?
It suits university students going over additive manufacturing topics and teachers looking for ready-made material. Most of the resources are at university level, with a small share aimed at professionals, so expect technical detail on processes, materials and industrial uses.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first, since the maps and decks overlap on processes and applications. If a topic is still missing, a free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, so you can fill the gap yourself.
