Certificate after the assessment

Who it's for

People who want to use AM for polymer parts and need to pick the right technology. This course gives you the overview of the main polymer processes. It does not go into process detail.

What you'll learn

  • How the polymer AM technology landscape is organized
  • How mature each polymer process is
  • The characteristics and typical applications of three key processes
  • How to choose the right polymer technology for your application

What's inside

  1. Polymer technology landscape
  2. Maturity of polymer processes
  3. Polymer laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). With applications.
  4. Polymer material extrusion (ME/FDM). With applications.
  5. Vat polymerization (SLA). With applications.
  6. How to choose the right polymer technology
  7. Final quiz
