Thomas-Seale, L. E. J.; Kanagalingam, Sanjeevan; Kirkman-Brown, J. C.; Attallah, M. M.; Espino, D. M.; Shepherd, D. E. T. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Additive manufacturing (AM) is projected to require 60,000 jobs in the UK by 2025, but there are a series of barriers to the industrial application. One of the most problematic is non-comprehensive knowledge in design for AM (DfAM). This study aims to test the effect of two undergraduate DfAM teaching approaches. A visual and audial approach…
