More about this course
  • Traditional subtractive manufacturing methods often limit the types of geometries that can be produced. Therefore, industries have favoured parts with simple geometries to keep their costs low
  • Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can help overcome these barriers, providing a simple and cost-effective way to produce parts with specific characteristics, such as electrodes
  • On this three-week course, youll explore AM-driven innovations to understand how businesses can profit from this method
  • You'll identify how different industrial areas can implement AM in their process, and how this can impact sustainability
  • You'll learn how DfAM is used to maximise part functionality, reduce the cost and time of additive manufacturing, and drive sustainable changes in different industries
  • You'll also learn how to apply the DfAM methods depending on the requirements of the end application
  • Separation and purification processes have generated interest in various industry fields, such as chemical and process engineering
  • You'll explore the application of metal additive manufacturing in the industry for separation, purification, and hydraulic blocks
  • You'll also assess the benefits and limitations of AM in the chemical industry to broaden your understanding
