About the Course

Course Level: Intermediate to Advanced users

Course Language: Japanese

Course Textbook: Japanese Textbook

This course covers the requirements and routes to validation for metal AM 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 1-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 AM.

Developed by AM industry experts, this course will cover core topics like:
— Foundations for Qualification & Certification​
— Consequences & Classifications​
— Material Insights ​
— 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.
