DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: TOWARDS END-PART PRODUCTION
This 10-hour web seminar fills a gap between designers that are familiar with design tools and the emerging technologies of Additive Manufacturing, which are mostly in the manufacturing domain in most organizations. The goal of this course is to give designers the information they need to start designing for AM at all levels –identifying and justifying use of AM technology for a particular part, selecting the right process and material for the application in mind and ensuring it is designed with the advantages and considerations of AM in mind. The course is not intended to serve as a software- training class or as a deep dive into any specific AM process, but rather to draw connections between design and AM from a designer’s perspective. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By connecting with this course, you will be able to: • List the different polymer and metal AM process technologies and materials and identify which of these are being used for functional part production • Select the optimum AM material and process for a particular application • Predict how design decisions impact manufacturability for the selected AM process and apply design rules and guidelines to your design process • Quantify the expected properties of the AM parts you are designing • Discover how topology optimization, cellular structures and other disruptive design techniques can be leveraged with AM and associated software tools • Identify the different drivers for adopting AM for a particular part, with regard to cost, lead time, supply chain and performance risks • Relate to the challenges and ongoing research efforts to be able to move forward with AM implementation in the presence of rapid change in the field • Develop a comprehensive strategy to bring AM for functional part production into your organization that addresses both the benefits and impacts WHO SHOULD ATTEND Designers working in aerospace or ground vehicle chartered with designing next generation solutions, designing replacement parts, or designing tools used in the manufacturing process will benefit from this course.
AM offers a range of opportunities in design freedom and mass customization as well as in cost and lead time reduction in some cases. Today, it is essential for designers to embrace AM as a possible manufacturing method to ensure their products are competitive and also
to unlock the design innovation that AM enables.
