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.
Objectives
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)
