Innovation with 3D Printing

Understand the entire process of AM 

Additive manufacturing courses tend to focus on the technicalities of the process, and this is a good starting point. However, our comprehensive 3D printing modules dive deeper than the basics, encouraging you to use this information to experiment outside the current parameters of design. 

Become familiar with the technology, systems, materials and parameters involved in additive manufacturing and learn how each part of the chain contributes to a successful end result.  

After completion of this 3D printing module, you will understand the entire process of AM from design to finished part, and be able to confidently describe and use the process for yourself.  

Only once you know the current standards can you begin to innovate away from them. 

Identify the advantages and potential of AM 

In order to develop fresh designs, an understanding of the true potential of additive manufacturing is needed. 

This 3D printing module will teach you about the key benefits of additive manufacturing alongside a deeper exploration of the potential for AM technology in a wide range of industries. 

Nowadays, 3D printing is becoming a vital technology in many fields. Delve into an analysis of the value chain and potential levers within additive manufacturing, and deepen your knowledge of the limitations and possibilities of the process, enabling you to create viable designs giving you the skills and knowledge to become a thought-leader within the field. 

Explore new business models 

Learn to identify what constitutes a good business model by exploring a range of the best industry case studies and engage in discussion with other learners to integrate your ideas. 

You will develop an understanding of the new technological advancements and developments towards serial production, and work towards applying your new knowledge towards creating your own innovative business models, taking you to the forefront of additive manufacturing.
