company training
Levels:
Level of expertise and familiarity the material in this course assumes you have. The greater the amount of introductory material taught in the course, the less you will need to be familiar with when learner attend.
Participants:
This course will be useful to design engineers, research engineers, research scientists, managers, VPs of product development and manufacturing, and technology innovation strategies. The course material is accessible for those new to additive manufacturing, yet highly comprehensive and valuable for those who already have significant experience with additive manufacturing.
Course Overview:
The type of course, whether it’s a foundational understanding of the material, the hottest trends, and developments in the field, or suggested practical applications for industry.
The implications of additive manufacturing span the complete product life-cycle, from concept-stage design to service part fulfillment.
Recent advances, including industrially viable high-speed additive manufacturing processes, improved materials, and optimization software. Now, enable additive manufacturing to be considered hand-in-hand with conventional production technologies.
In short, additive manufacturing is the cornerstone of future digital production infrastructure. Moreover, the unprecedented design flexibility of additive manufacture allows us to invent products with new levels of performance, and to envision supply chains that achieve rapid, responsive production with reduced cost and risk.
Methods:
The course is taught from traditional classroom lectures and riveting discussions to group projects to engaging and interactive simulations and exercises with your peers. An interactions by demonstrations, experiments and simulations itself.
