Innovation is at the heart of additive manufacturing (AM) and the industry is constantly evolving. By studying different business models and techniques used in a variety of industries, you will begin to understand the advantages and potentials of additive manufacturing.
This additive manufacturing online class will demonstrate the key benefits of the technology and enable you to create your own original and valuable business model, helping you to lead the way in the exciting and unconventional world of 3D printing.
Learning Goals
- 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.
