About FDP:
The ATAL FDP on “Smart Additive Manufacturing under Industry 4.0 Framework for Medical Applications” aim of this Faculty Development Programme is to fill the gap between advanced manufacturing technologies and healthcare engineering. It is aimed at providing engineering faculty, research scholars, and industry professionals with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of smart additive manufacturing technologies combined with Industry 4.0 tools like the Internet of Things, Digital Twin, Artificial Intelligence, and Cloud Computing to manufacture intelligent medical devices. The programme encompasses the entire value chain of the product, such as design and selection of materials, fabrication, post-processing, regulatory compliance and research translation, which makes it one of the most detailed FDPs concerning the sphere of medical manufacturing.
Topics Covered:
Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of metal additive manufacturing technologies such as DMLS, SLM, EBM, FDM, SLA, and SLS, along with hands- on experience in designing patient-specific medical devices using DICOM-based tools. The programme covers IoT-enabled smart manufacturing, AI-driven optimization, and digital twin concepts. It includes biomaterials, bioprinting, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems. Participants will understand regulatory standards (FDA, ISO, and CE) and Industry 4.0 integration. It also enhances research capability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and skills in post- processing, sterilization, and quality assurance for medical-grade additive manufacturing.
Speakers: The sessions will be handled by the experts in the area of semiconductor technologies in optoelectronics and photonics from industry and reputed institutions.
