Short Course Fundamentals

Quality Assurance for Additive Manufacturing

About the Course

This short course provides a concise overview of the key considerations for how to achieve Quality Assurance in Additive Manufacturing, including a top-level outline of what a Quality Management System could look like to produce components for Critical Applications, and an overview of available inspection methods.

The short course will include an interactive workshop, where the participants will be able to review a typical Quality Assurance challenge, and how you would manage it.

Participants will receive a digital Certificate of Attendance from ASTM International.

This event is now open for registration. The fees are listed below.
