Construction for additive manufacturing

General information about the 2-day course:
If you work in the field of design or component development, this course is ideal for you and your team members. The focus of this course is on design guidelines for manufacturing-oriented component design in various additive manufacturing processes.

Kursüberblick:
You will gain an overview of additive manufacturing processes and common materials. Subsequently, you will learn about the constructive possibilities of 3D printing depending on the respective process. The theoretical foundational knowledge will then be demonstrated through practical examples. Finally, you will have the opportunity to discuss your own examples from everyday work together with the instructor and to design them in a 3D printing-friendly manner.
