Industry 4.0: Additive manufacturing
Participants in this course are introduced to the fundamentals of industrial additive manufacturing (AM). The different AM technologies will be covered in detail, and the differences in hardware and process control will be discussed in detail. The role of materials in AM is discussed along with the challenges facing your users. The advantages of AM are illustrated by the value chain and market potential. A concluding case study on the implementation of an AM tool provides an initial guide to its use in practice.
The learning objective of the participants is a basic understanding of industrial AM tools.
