	Objectives
	THE COURSE HAS THE FOLLOWING EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES DEEPEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO THE MOST RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS USED IN THE PROCESSING OF POLYMER MATERIALS WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO RAPID PROTOTYPING TECHNIQUES. PROVIDE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO INNOVATIVE POLYMER MATERIALS OBTAINED BOTH FROM FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE SOURCES. PROVIDE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL SKILLS ON THE TECHNIQUES OF PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NON-CONVENTIONAL HYBRID SYSTEMS. FOCUSING ATTENTION ON ASPECTS RELATED TO THE CHARACTERIZATION AND PROCESSING OF SMART MATERIALS FOR APPLICATIONS IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL FIELDS. ANALYZE THE ASPECTS RELATED TO THE MODELING OF THE PROCESSING OF POLYMER MATERIALS AND IN PARTICULAR TO RAPID PROTOTYPING, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PROCESS VARIABLES AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL AND THE PRODUCT. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - ENGINEERING ANALYSIS: PROVIDING THE SKILLS FOR A CONCRETE APPROACH TO INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS. ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF DIFFERENT POLYMER COMPOSITE SYSTEMS, IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE PROCESSING AND RAPID PROTOTYPING TECHNIQUES, ESTABLISH THE PROCESS CONDITIONS TO OPTIMIZE THE PROPERTIES OF THE PRODUCT AND REDUCE WASTE. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - ENGINEERING DESIGN: ABILITY TO DESIGN COMPLEX SYSTEMS MADE UP OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR APPLICATIONS IN THE FIELD OF RAPID PROTOTYPING, ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONS THAT LEAD TO CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OR DEFECTS OF A MANU DONE INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT: KNOWING HOW TO IDENTIFY AND ABILITY TO CORRECTLY APPLY KNOWLEDGE FOR THE USE OF INNOVATIVE POLYMERIC MATERIALS IN THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF PRODUCTS WITH A STRONG INNOVATIVE CHARACTER FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SECTORS OF USE. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE, IN WRITTEN FORM IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE WAY AND ORALLY EXPLAIN WITH PROPER LANGUAGE THE OBJECTIVES, THE PROCEDURE AND THE RESULTS OF THE PROCESSING CARRIED OUT WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE TOPICS CONCERNING THE TECHNOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED FOR A RAPID PROTOTYPING SYSTEM AND AD A SPECIFIC POLYMER OR COMPOSITE MATERIAL IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. LEARNING SKILLS: BEING ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND DELVE DEEPER INTO THE TOPICS COVERED USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED.
