Risk Assessment and Management in Additive Manufacturing (AM)

This module is part of a bundled training course, the iAM Engineer and iAM Quality Manager certificate line.

ABOUT THE COURSE

This paid course focuses on how to properly conduct an AM-specific Risk assessment and management.
 
The training is intended to provide a holistic overview of risk assessment and management for AM products, the required know-how and input how to conduct the risk assessment with examples from the medical sector but the topics discussed are applicable for all. Risk management will cover the systematic management of the analysis, evaluation and control of risks. The second part of the training will be a workshop to discuss specific situations in conjunction with the new input, so that you will have first results and ideas that will be useful for your specific situation and can continue working on them in your company in an effective manner.

Using the medical industry as an example, the quality management standard ISO 13485 explicitly requires risk management and all associated documentation for the entire product realization process. The requirements in ISO 14971 for this purpose must in turn be transferred to additive manufacturing technology. 

Duration: 2-day course (4hr each)
