Erasmus+ BIP in Polymer Additive Manufacturing

This BIP project offers students the chance to take part in an international educational collaboration focused on polymer additive manufacturing. The program covers design and simulation, materials testing, and processing. It includes an online learning phase, a graded engineering project, a one-week in-person workshop in Torino, and a final written and oral exam. 

 

Students participating to the BIP will achieve 3 ECTS.

Politecnico di Torino students

TBD

Teaching methods
  • Virtual theoretical lectures 
  • On site practical activities and seminars
Online teaching activities

Theoretical contents regarding:

  • Design and simulation
  • Material selection
  • Materials testing
  • Main principles of additive manufacturing processing 
  • Additive manufacturing technologies
  • Post processing
In-presence teaching activities (5 days)

Technical design tasks for additive manufacturing, including manufacturing and testing activities.

Extracurricular Activities

In addition to working on a project task in German-French-Spanish-Italian student teams, there will be additional program such as cultural activities, social events, and opportunities for networking and shared moments of conviviality.

The main Expected Learning Outcomes include:

  • Apply polymer additive manufacturing principles to a technical design challenge
  • Collaborate effectively in an international multidisciplinary team
  • Communicate technical results through written and oral formats

The project includes a technical design challenge in polymer additive manufacturing that allows students to assess their learning progress and apply the knowledge acquired during the lectures. The final components will be manufactured and tested during the on-site visit in Torino. As part of the examination, students will complete a project carried out by German–French–Spanish-Italian teams. The assessment consists of a written group report, an individual oral presentation, and a group discussion.
