Is this course for you?

Can you…

  • Explain how to optimise the functional design of a component for Additive Manufacturing?
  • Exploit the design freedom of AM?
  • Design components which follow the particular design rules for your chosen polymer technology?

If you’ve answered ‘no’ to any of these, then this course is for you.

Day 1

  • Introduction
  • Introduction to Polymer Processes
  • Workflow
  • Part Down-selection
  • DfAM Mindset
  • Design Brief
