Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Introduction to Additive Manufacturing


With increasing costs, supply chain issues, and the need for rapid prototyping and manufacturing processes, Additive Manufacturing (specifically 3D printing) has become the solution many companies have turned to. This course has been designed to address and overcome the challenges small and medium-sized enterprises face when adopting 3D printing technology.

Upon course completion , participants will have a working knowledge of 3D printing with hands-on experience in:

  • Identifying the components involved in FDM Printing
  • Understanding how to utilize an existing model to generate a 3D print
  • Understanding how to utilize basic troubleshooting techniques to improve the quality and success of 3D prints
  • Understanding of the costs involved to generate an ROI for 3D printing and quoting 3D printing costs

*Note: This is a hands-on course providing participants an opportunity to interact with 3D printers and associated software.
