Learners enrolled: 557

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.

Instructor bio

Prof. Sajan Kapil

IIT Guwahati

Dr. 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.

Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Guwahati .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
