Additive Academy

A successfully completed engineering degree with practical training in design using CAD programs

or

A minimum of one year of professional work in an engineering environment involving design using CAD programs. Please contact Hussein Tarhini directly if you are interested.

During the certificate course "Metal Additive Manufacturing Professional - Design" you will acquire the necessary expertise for the comprehensive handling of metal-based additive technologies, optionally in the field of design or production. As proof of your acquired expertise, you will receive a qualifying certificate from the Fraunhofer Personnel Certification Body (accredited according to ISO 17024).

• Overview of additive manufacturing technologies including LBM, EBM, DED and BJ.
• Design and construction principles for each technology
• Practical design and CAD capabilities for AM 
• Process simulation and interpretation for AM design
• Topology optimization and bionic design
• Interpretation of optimization for AM 
• Digital process chain, material properties, process parameters, machine operation and quality assurance

Our AM basic training enables you to quickly and successfully get started with 3D printing.

We show you how to recognize the potential of additive manufacturing and find suitable applications in your company. You will learn which technologies are relevant for you from an independent perspective.

In a 1-day face-to-face training or online training on 2 mornings, with a focus on design or production, prepares you optimally to successfully explore the broad field of additive manufacturing for yourself.

The 2-day interactive workshop Learning Expedition offers decision-makers an entry into the world of additive manufacturing to identify strategic development opportunities and new business areas.

Building on the previous knowledge of the AM basic training, participants can deepen their knowledge in detail and in a practice-oriented manner:

The 2-day Design for Additive Manufacturing training offers design engineers and designers an in-depth look at AM production-oriented design and design exercises with AM software solutions.

In the 3-day Hands-on Training with a focus on design or production, you can experience the process chain live and learn directly from the professionals how, for example, costs for misprints can be minimized.

In the 4-day Bionic Design training, you not only go through the entire process chain for the design of bionically optimized lightweight components, but also design and manufacture a component yourself.

The 1-day Management Deep Dive Workshop is aimed at decision-makers in the field of additive production who want to gain a compact and at the same time in-depth insight into the technology.

At the expert level, we offer a wide range of training courses depending on the level of knowledge and in-depth subject matter. Please contact us if your question is not yet covered in a training.

Our newly developed E-Learning program is ideal as an introduction to 3D printing. The approx. 6-hour learning program enables participants to learn about the various technologies of additive manufacturing with metal and plastic in a structured manner, independent of time and location and at their own pace.

Participants can go beyond pure knowledge acquisition to identify concrete use cases from their work environment and deal with the appropriate technology selection (process selection). Using examples, explanatory videos, relevant technology comparisons, exercises and quizzes, each participant can test themselves and a sense of the possibilities and limitations of the individual additive manufacturing technologies will develop very quickly.
