Practical 3D Printing: Conclusion
Conclusion
02.07
| 00:00 | This brings us to the end of our 3D printing course. |
| 00:02 | We've covered a lot of information in this course and you should now have a solid understanding of everything you need to know across the fundamental knowledge and practical skills of additive manufacturing to put it to use on your projects. |
| 00:15 | Remember if you didn't fully understand anything covered in these modules it's easy to go back through and revisit anything you feel you could do with a refresher on. |
| 00:24 | Before we finish up there are a few things that I think are important to reiterate. |
| 00:28 | First, modifying critical components on any vehicle obviously needs to be approached with care and caution to ensure that the parts are strong and safe. |
| 00:38 | We must have a good understanding of any changes that we're making to a vehicle and the outcome that the changes will have. |
| 00:44 | Almost every change in an automotive application comes with some form of compromise and any effect on safety must be carefully considered. |
| 00:53 | When it comes to 3D printed parts in particular we need to consider not only the material we are using, but the design itself and the quality of the print. |
| 01:03 | These will never be 100% perfect and while we're armed with the knowledge to get the best results possible we still need to keep this in mind when using the parts. |
| 01:12 | Depending on our application and our confidence in the process we might need to allow for some tolerance in our design to ensure they'll fit and function as intended after we potentially spend a lot of time and money getting them produced. |
| 01:25 | This course was designed to give you the knowledge and understanding to leverage the power of 3D printing for motorsport design but there's always more to learn so if you have any technical questions or concepts that you'd like to dive deeper into be sure to use the form below which will generate a topic on the members forum for discussion. |
| 01:44 | As with most things related to motorsport engineering the best way to learn is by practical experience so it's time to get out there print some parts and then start using them to take your build to the next level. |
| 01:56 | Thanks again for taking this course. |
| 01:58 | I'm looking forward to seeing your 3D printing projects and discussions in the members forum. |
