3D Printing An Introduction to Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is transforming how industries design, prototype, and produce components—but getting started can be overwhelming. This three-hour asynchronous course provides a foundational understanding of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, focusing on plastics. Learners will gain insights into additive manufacturing/3D printing processes, design considerations, and how to evaluate the feasibility and value of adopting additive manufacturing in real-world applications.
Who Should Attend?
- Design Engineers
- Manufacturing Engineers
- Sr Operators
- Technicians
- Supervisors
- Supply Chain Personnel
What You Will Learn
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Compare the different AM techniques (focusing on plastics) and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
2. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of AM compared to traditional processing techniques for plastics processing.
3. Understand the latest developments and critical challenges of AM.
4. Consider the business case for AM in their own industry/company.
5. Apply design criteria specific to AM methods to creating a new object with AM.
