ABSTRACT

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies introduce novel opportunities for producing intricate metasurface and metamaterial structures, many of which are unattainable through conventional fabrication approaches. Through the layering of a 3D model, AM builds objects incrementally, allowing for the formation of complex structures. AM categories include wire-based, liquid-based, powder-based, and mixed liquid–powder-based, accommodating diverse materials like metals, polymers, and ceramics across nano to meter scales. This course provides an overview of various AM technologies tailored to produce metallic, ceramic, and polymeric metasurfaces and metamaterials.

 

COURSE CONTENT

  • Additive Manufacturing technologies for production of metal metalmaterials
  • Additive Manufacturing technologies for production of ceramic metalmaterials
  • Additive Manufacturing technologies for production of polymeric metalmaterials

 

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

The teaching activity includes theoretical lessons and is useful for those intending to do Additive Manufacturing laboratories. The exam consists of a written test with multiple-choice questions on the topics of the course.

Registration Procedure for UniTN Students

Please contact the Student Support Office of your Department/Centre/School to include the course in your study plan.

Registration Procedure for EXTERNAL Students

Step 1: Register a "guest" type account (@guest.unitn.it)

  • Should you still not have a UniTN account, you have to register and log in with your SPID identity or CIE (electronic ID card). If you cannot use SPID or CIE, please create your own UniTN account.

Step 2: Enroll to a Single UniTN Course

  • Complete the online application through the dedicated webpage.
    In the application form (Section "Teaching Activities") put the following information:
    • Name of single class/teaching activity: Additive Manufacturing of Metasurfaces and Metamaterials (Technologies)
    • Code of single class/teaching activity: M220_14
    • Degree course to which the teaching activity is associated: [M220] Master in Multifunctional Metamaterials and Metastructures
  • Once received the outcome of the application (1-3 days), login into ESSE3 with your "guest" account user-name and password. Then, pay the bulletin you find in Administrative Office – Payments.
