Additive Manufacturing - Basics (TB-ADDM-B)

This course is aimed at employees who want to build a basic knowledge in the field of additive manufacturing technologies (3D printing). By participating, attendees will learn modern methods to design and produce simple components. The course offers a solid introduction to additive manufacturing, covering fundamentals to practical application with modern CAD programs on an Ultimaker 3D printer. The course concludes with a recognized certificate.
Added Value
• Cost Efficiency: Participants learn how to integrate 3D printing into existing production processes to replace components and thereby reduce costs.
• Time Savings: Rapid prototype development and spare part production shorten downtimes in manufacturing.
• Future Security: 3D printing is a key technology of the future, and the skills acquired make participants valuable knowledge carriers in a growing technology sector.

Participants acquire practical knowledge and skills that enable them to independently and efficiently apply additive manufacturing processes.
After the course, participants will be able to:
- Plan and implement 3D printing processes from design to production
- Operate CAD programs (e.g., NX) for designing components and prepare them for 3D printing
- Apply various materials and printing methods to produce components according to defined quality criteria
- Efficiently design production workflows with additive processes and leverage their advantages over traditional manufacturing methods
- Optimize maintenance and repair operations through the use of 3D printing (e.g., spare part production)

- Employees from manufacturing who want to integrate additive processes into production
- Maintenance personnel who can produce custom spare parts using 3D printing
- Maintenance and service personnel who use additive manufacturing processes to reduce costs and increase efficiency
