This series of courses provides the key foundational knowledge to properly evaluate Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a potentially viable technology solution coupled with the in-depth technical knowledge necessary to efficiently shepherd AM parts from design, through post-processing and eventually into the market through three use cases: Replicate, Adapt, and Optimize. Each case study allows the learner to dive deeper into the use case and provides an opportunity to apply what they have learned through a variety of assessments and assignments. Replicate covers a just-in-time solution—when you need an exact copy or a legacy part that is no longer in production or readily available. Adapt covers a second common AM use case, when starting fresh with a new design isn’t possible and the goal is to reduce cost, enhance performance, and minimize excessive post-processing of the part. Optimize gives you the freedom to change part geometry while ensuring significant performance improvements—producing parts that print faster, cost less, and use material more efficiently.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Leverage Replicate Adapt Optimize™ Framework
- Ensure quality of a print using industry best practices
- Identify and leverage the additive manufacturing design techniques that are specific to the Replicate, Adapt, and Optimize use cases.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for:
- Engineering teams at design and manufacturing firms, as well as individuals
- Early to mid-career engineers, including design engineers, materials engineers, manufacturing engineers, and others with an interest in design for additive manufacturing with metals
- Business Managers including directors of program management, directors of strategy/supply chain, financial analysts, or controllers
Course participants are expected to:
- Have access to CAD and know how to use it
- Maintain a basic understanding of analysis tools (i.e., FEA, CFD, and GD&T methods)
- Be familiar with traditional manufacturing processes (i.e., machining/milling, casting, and forging)
- Possess basic knowledge of engineering and intellectual property ethics, such as the ASME Code of Ethics of Engineers.
- Ideally, have some experience with 3D printing and plastics/polymers (not required)
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
- Digital course notes via ASME’s Learning Hub
- Advanced Manufacturing Flight Check™
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete the course by achieving a passing score of 75% or higher on each of the instructor-graded assignments.
