Goal and structure

Additive manufacturing of metals has become increasingly important in recent years and has long since been used for more than just prototyping. It offers an unprecedented degree of design possibilities in the development of new products. However, the mechanisms underlying metal additive manufacturing processes are complex. In order to optimally design the components and realistically assess the various possible applications, a precise knowledge of the influence of material and process parameters on the material properties is required. This course starts precisely at this point. The aim is to give participants an overview of the process chain of metal processing additive manufacturing methods, to explain the influence of different process steps on material properties, and to provide information about the possibilities and limitations in the additive manufacturing of metals.

Target audience
Engineers, technicians, designers and all other persons involved in the additive manufacturing of metals in product development, manufacturing or quality assurance.
