Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a prominent technology of interest for manufacturing propulsion components and gaining attention across the aerospace industry. AM is maturing at a rapid pace and providing new design opportunities, novel materials, new industries and supply chains resulting in programmatic and technical performance improvements. The successful use of AM requires a methodical and intentional approach to understanding the concept to utilization lifecycle for AM. This course will provide an overview of the various steps in AM process trades, design, build process, post-processing, certification and infusion of AM. This will provide various lessons learned and experiences that were captured in a recent AIAA textbook titled "Metal Additive Manufacturing for Propulsion Applications" by the session chairs and industry colleagues. This course will include specific liquid rocket engine component examples and that went through the AM lifecycle including hot-fire testing.
