AM is cementing its status as a powerful method capable of being used throughout the value chain and as a complement to traditional manufacturing.
In this course participants will

• Get to know material properties and material processing in order to realize required property profiles.
• Learn important aspects of additive design and additive construction of products.
• Understand to distinguish, use, evaluate as well as combine additive manufacturing processes for plastics, metal and ceramic materials.
• Deepen their knowledge on AM’s applications, cost-benefit calculations and quality considerations.
• Reflect AM's economic impact as well as its impact on traditional supply chains.
• Increase their awareness of health, safety and environmental issues in relation to AM.

The theoretical base will be deepend by practical exercises in which end-to-end engineering and manufacturing will be experienced by the participants.
