Course Introduction
3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) are revolutionizing how products are designed, prototyped, and manufactured. These technologies enable the creation of complex geometries and customized parts that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. 3D printing offers significant advantages, including reduced lead times, cost savings on materials, and the ability to produce on-demand. As industries across automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer goods adopt AM, understanding its applications is critical for engineers and designers. This training will provide essential knowledge of how to apply 3D printing and additive manufacturing to various industries.
This program will cover the principles of 3D printing and its various techniques, including FDM, SLA, and SLS. Participants will learn how to select the appropriate 3D printing methods for different applications, materials, and designs. The course will explore how to design for additive manufacturing, post-processing techniques, and quality control methods.
