About the Course
Course Level: Beginner users
Course Language: Japanese
Course Textbook: English & Japanese textbooks
With the industrialization of additive manufacturing (AM), there is a growing demand to fill the existing knowledge gap. ASTM International, who has been providing world-class training on AM, has launched a training course with the mission to support the scaling up of AM adoption.
Developed by AM industry experts, this course will cover core topics like:
— AM Overview & Standards​
— Materials & Design​
—Â AM Processing & Post-Processing
—Â Destructive & Non-Destructive Evaluation
Additionally, there is an opportunity to interact and network with industry experts on the current state-of-the-art of AM technology during this course as part of the AM learning journey. This is not a series of lectures; there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Who Should Attend
Whether you’re new to AM or seeking to advance your knowledge, this course welcomes all interested in gaining awareness of the latest advancements and best practices in AM.
