Design for Metal Additive Manufacturing
Description
The Design for Metal Additive Manufacturing course is tailored for design engineers proficient in CAD and familiar with traditional manufacturing techniques like machining. This course provides an in-depth understanding of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), a cutting-edge technology that enables the creation of complex geometries previously impossible with conventional methods.
Participants will explore key design principles and considerations specific to LPBF, such as assembly consolidation, economic factors, and material minimalism. They will also learn about the unique challenges and opportunities in additive manufacturing, including how to effectively manage heat dissipation, surface roughness, and overhang angles. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to design parts that are lighter, stronger, and optimized for the AM process.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an official EOS Design for Metal AM certificate, validating their expertise in the advanced design principles of metal additive manufacturing.
