Training Program on Fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing

This training course focuses on the basics of additive manufacturing. First, a general description of the technologies summarised under the term additive manufacturing is given as well as their differentiation from the long-established manufacturing processes and the characteristic layer-by-layer structure is discussed. Advantages as also the existing disadvantages, which a layered component construction brings with it, are covered in the course.

Topics to be covered in this course include:

• Introduction to additive manufacturing
  - Principle of AM
  - Market situation

• Fundamentals of AM processes
  - Introduction to the seven AM technologies
  - Differences and assessment of AM technologies
  - AM materials
• Status Quo of the industry: potentials, challenges and use cases
  - Advantages of additive manufacturing
  - Related Use-Cases
  - The hurdles on the way to series production
  - Available standardization and standardization activities
• The first steps to AM production
  - Management
  - Application
  - Investment and costs
  - Setting up a production
• Need, advantages and limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) / rapid prototyping v/s traditional manufacturing
• Business impact of impact AM, lab to shop floor deployment
• AM Processes – liquid, powder and solid based processes
