Training for users

From BASIC to PILOT PROJECT

BASIC

The BASIC training Additive Manufacturing teaches the fundamentals of the technology, from understanding the process and material properties to the process chain and design guidelines. The training is the basis for a screening for Additive Manufacturing.

Learn more

DESIGN

The DESIGN training Additive Manufacturing consists of the BASIC module and a subsequent design workshop. The aim is to transfer selected customer components from screening into additive concepts. The result are 3D printing concepts.

Learn more

PILOT PROJECT

The PILOT PROJECT includes the BASIC training, an internal screening for Additive Manufacturing and the DESIGN workshop. Subsequently, a selected design is transferred to CAD data, manufactured additvely and post processed to the finished part. A detailed final report rounds off the PILOT PROJECT Additive Manufacturing.

BASIC Training Additive Manufacturing

Our BASIC training for Additive Manufacturing aims to educate engineers and technical staff. The imparted knowledge includes not only the basics of the technology, but also the material properties and design guidelines. The training documents serve as a reference work for design engineers and other engineers in the company. The lessons learned from our Additive Manufacturing training are based on more than 10 years of experience in Additive Manufacturing of metals.

Workshop preview

Design Workshop Additive Manufacturing

The DESIGN workshop builds on the BASIC Training. The basis is customer components, which were previously selected by the participants. In a first step, the requirements of the components are defined. Subsequently, creative methods are applied to develop solution concepts for Additive Manufacturing. These lead to a design concept, which is subsequently evaluated. In the final step, the complete production process chain for Additive Manufacturing is set up and the costs for the newly developed concept are estimated.

Project previews

The PILOT PROJECT as the complete package

The PILOT PROJECT builds on the BASIC Training and the DESIGN Workshop. Following the training of the fundamentals of 3D Printing, the participants’ own components will be further developed into concepts for additive manufacturing. In the PILOT PROJECT, these components are then converted into a CAD design and the data is created for production. This component is manufactured as a prototype and accompanied by the process chain to the ready-to-install component or to the complete assembly. The PILOT PROJECT results will be summarized in a final report and presented to the company management together with the project team.

Hands-on training

Binder Jetting – Full process chain

Metal Binder Jetting is one of the most promising metal Additive Manufacturing technologies with a high potential for low cost and high-volume digital manufacturing. However, the complete process chain of Binder Jetting is highly complex and the supply chain is still developing. AMPOWER created a unique binder jetting training course in cooperation with the FRAUNHOFER IAPT in Hamburg. Participants will learn the theoretical basics accompanied by a comprehensive hands-on session through the complete process chain.
