About the Course
Course Level: Intermediate to Advanced users
Course Language: English & Japanese simplified translation
Course Textbook: English textbook & Japanese supplemental text
This course covers the requirements and routes to validation for metal additive manufacturing parts produced by powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition manufacturing processes. This course will leverage recent case studies from the PBF and DED world to provide context for structural integrity challenges and opportunities.
This 2-day training course is based on ISO and ASTM standards and is aimed at those who are using, or plan to use, AM in serial or critical applications and would like to learn more about the routes to qualification and certification. Attendees would be required to have a strong background in additive manufacturing.
Developed by AM industry experts, this course will cover core topics like:
— Foundations for Qualification & Certification​
— Consequences & Classifications​
— Material Insights ​
—Â Part Production & Qualification Testing
This is not a series of lectures; there will be series of discussions, mini-workshops, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Who Should Attend
This course is suitable for metal additive manufacturing (AM) engineers, metal AM operators, metal AM managers and team leaders as well as professionals with experience in metal AM.
