Post-processing, in the cyber-physical systems which form the basis of Industry 4.0, is an umbrella term that covers a variety of stages that 3D printed parts have to undergo before being used for the final purpose. Regardless of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) mode, post-processing focusses on removing the undesired properties that have been built-in the final product during the additive manufacturing process. Post-processing can include technologies such as Heat Treatment, UV Curing, Support Removal, Cleaning & De-powdering, Machining, Coating or Infiltration, Electrochemical & Surface Finish Processes, Inspection and Dyeing. This module aims to provide the student with key insights into post-processing, its different segments, and its importance in AM serial production.
The aim of this NFQ Level 7 micro-credential award is to produce individuals, distinct in their abilities, understanding, skills and knowledge associated with managing projects utilising project management software in their individual work / learning settings.
