The Chair of Materials Technology is expanding its range of courses to include the new module “Materials for Additive Manufacturing.” The lecturer is Dr. Jonathan Lentz. The course is aimed at bachelor's students from the 5th semester onwards and covers one of the central research areas of the LWT: the interactions between additive manufacturing processes, microstructure formation, and the resulting properties. The focus is on the three main material families used in additive manufacturing: metals, polymers, and ceramics. The module combines the fundamentals of materials science with practical examples from industrial applications. This gives students a comprehensive overview of the entire additive manufacturing process chain.
