Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Engineers, designers, buyers, managers and anyone else who will meet AM at work and needs a solid base. No prior knowledge needed.

After this track you can:

• Distinguish between different AM technologies
• Understand common materials and applications
• Recognize common AM use cases
• Spot opportunities for AM

• Technologies overview. All the main technologies, with guidance on which ones are most relevant.
• Materials. Polymers, metals, composites and more, and the trade-offs between them.
• Post-processing essentials. What happens to a part after the printer stops.
• Part selection. What makes a good AM candidate?
• Applications. Real-world examples.
• Knowledge check. An assessment at the end.
