2. Design Novel Polymeric Materials with a Balance of Reactivity and Rheology for Diverse Printing Platforms.
3. Work and Consult with Renowned Authorities in the Additive Manufacturing Field.
4. Acquire Hands-on Experience by Performing or Discussing a Variety of Experiments in a Small Group Laboratory Environment.
5. Gain a Remarkable Breadth of Knowledge of 3D Printing -  Covering a Variety of Topics from Thermoplastic Design to Solution Rheology.
6. Solve Your Practical, Work-Related Problems by Discussing Your Work with Additive Manufacturing and Polymer Experts.

• The fundamentals of additive manufacturing
• Design of polymer structure that aligns with diverse printing platforms
• Correlation of structure-property- processing relationships to accelerate innovation

Anyone currently working or beginning to work with additive manufacturing and its applications, including bachelor degree through Ph.D. level research chemists, engineers, physicists, or technicians should take this course. Managers in the polymer industry will greatly benefit from this in-depth, lecture-laboratory course. No prior knowledge of additive manufacturing is assumed. Although some introductory lectures are included on polymer science and engineering, some working knowledge of polymer chemistry would be useful.  This course is also ideal for K-12 teachers and university professors who wish to integrate additive manufacturing principles into their courses.
