Details & Registration:

Course Level: Intermediate to Advanced users.

This course is aimed at those who are using, or plan to use, AM in serial or critical applications and would like to learn more about the routes to qualification and certification. Attendees would be required to have a strong background in additive manufacturing.

The instructors have in-depth experience in materials, qualification and certification, as well as making parts from additive manufacturing methods. The learning methods are based on logic and experience, and real-life best practices (and lessons learned!) will be shared.

This is not a series of lectures — there will be discussions, mini-workshops and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
