Participant Takeaways
Participants at this course will be introduced to the concept of Additive Manufacturing (AM). The different AM technologies will be described with focus on those designed for processing thermoplastics and their composite forms. Design guidelines and rules for parts destined for AM will be highlighted. Value chains for the different kinds of AM will be described. Great emphasis will be given to the role of materials in AM together with their attendant challenges.
With AM holding much promise for industries, its applications scope now and in the future together with its placement as a tool within the context of Industry 4.0 will be discussed. Some economic aspects of AM namely impact on manufacturing goals, logistics, inventory and its growth across vertical markets will also be presented. This course will be supported with case studies derived from the medical, aerospace, sealing and injection molding industries. The learning outcome for participants at this course is that they have an advanced level appreciation for the technologies, materials processing, applications merits and economics of AM.
