FUNDAMENTALS OF ADDITIVE

MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES

PROF. SAJAN KAPIL


Department of Mechanical Engineering
IIT Guwahati
INTENDED AUDIENCE : Bachelor/Master/PhD students having background in Mechanical Engineering/Production Engineering/
Manufacturing Technology

COURSE OUTLINE :
The progress of additive manufacturing processes is ever increasing with the development of the digital
platform in the manufacturing sector, which is essential for the growth of modern technologies. This
course is primarily designed for fundamental understanding of different additive manufacturing
technologies for realizing the metallic and non-metallic objects. The syllabus is oriented to cover from
basic understanding to practical applications of this technology to develop the products. Therefore, the
academic people, as well as the industrial practitioner both, will be benefitted from this course. The
special emphasis is given to link computer interface with the digital manufacturing process and their
demonstration using commercially available software. The modules cover almost all the direction of
additive manufacturing technologies, and it is blended with fundamental development to the recent
technologies. The audience will be able to develop a fundamental understanding of different perspectives
and recent development in this field through the lectures, skill development through demonstration, and
reinforce their knowledge by solving assignments. This course is presented in a lucid and simplified way
to make it enjoyable to the beginners.

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR :
Prof. Sajan Kapil completed his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from G. B. Pant
Engineering College Pauri, Master’s degree in Computer Assisted Manufacturing from IIT Guwahati &
University of Stuttgart and Ph.D. from IIT Bombay. After that, he joined the Department of Mechanical
Engineering IIT Guwahati as an Assistant Professor. His areas of research include 3D printing,
Manufacturing Automation, and CAD/CAM. At IIT Bombay, he had developed an Additive Manufacturing
process called "Hybrid Layered Manufacturing". He had simplified the manufacturing process of complex
geometries by generating both 3 and 5-axis metal deposition toolpaths. He has published his research
work in 13 international journals, 7 Indian patents, and more than 20 conferences. He has developed a
new elective course entitled as ’Additive Manufacturing Technologies’ at IIT Guwahati. He is involved in
teaching the subjects like ‘Additive Manufacturing Technologies’, ‘Kinematics of Machinery’, ‘Engineering
Drawing’, and ‘Manufacturing Laboratory’, at IIT Guwahati.
