Metal AM: The 10 Rules of Metal 3D Printing and Materials
The essentials for professional metal 3D printing
Watch PromoNext training: Stay tuned.
The next online training takes place at October 23
Time: 5PM BST (UK). 9AM PDT (San Fransisco). 12AM PDT (Boston)
The aim of this course is to establish 10 basic rules for metal 3D printing, which address a number of critical aspects for metal 3D printing, which are: the processability of a material, the impact of platform, post-processing, approaches for process optimisation, inspection techniques, and the feedstock. The course also discusses the potential defects that occur due to metal 3D printing, suggesting approaches for mitigating them through process optimisation and post-processing.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, the attendee will be able to:
1. Identify whether a material is processable by AM or not.
2. Highlight the metallurgical issues with metal AM.
3. Understand the approaches for process optimisation for AM.
4. Assess the impact of AM on performance (mechanical properties).
5. Recognise the defects associated with AM, and how to mitigate them.
6. Highlight the benefits of AM for non-conventional applications.
