Fundamentals of Metal 3D Printing How can Metal be Printed and What are its Possibilities?

Seminar: Fundamentals of Metal 3D Printing

Training levelBeginners and advanced

DescriptionInjection elements for gas turbines, weight-optimised structures

for aviation, and functional components for space travel: the pro-

duction of metal parts like these using industrial 3D printing are

already reality!

The production of high-quality metal components by Additive

Manufacturing offers fully new possibilities for engineers and de-

signers. Even now, this method of component production represents

an alternative to conventional manufacturing methods. Producers

from a wide variety of industries, such as aerospace, medical enginee-

ring and the automotive industry, are already using 3D printing

in their serial production.

The workshop Fundamentals of Metal 3D Printing explains the pro-

cess of Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and points out why this

production method is set to revolutionise component design. The

challenges of the innovative production process (generating support

structures; tensions and warpage in the component) are discussed

and solutions presented that redefine the limits of what is possible.

Target groupThe workshop is aimed at people working in technical departments

who are interested in implementing the technology and wish to ac-

quire a deeper understanding of the process.

BenefitsThe course Fundamentals of Metal 3D Printing offers a quick and com-

pact way of entering the world of Additive Manufacturing with metal

materials. Participants obtain an overview of the various steps in the

process. Essential sub-processes, such as orienting components in

the process chamber and generating support structures, are discussed

in detail, and practical exercises are included to further participants'

understanding.

After the workshop, participants will be able to provide their company

with thorough answers to questions such as 'What does 3D printing

mean for me and my company?', and 'What can 3D printing achieve

today?'.

Special featuresThe content of this highly practically oriented workshop is taught

using illustrative examples from everyday practice. By involving

participants in a high degree of interactive activity, they are able to

learn more effectively, in a relaxed atmosphere, and they will be well

equipped to apply their knowledge in the company.

'We can look back at more than fifty years

of development history in the design of gas

turbines, and are now fighting to enhance

efficiency by degrees of tenths of a percent.

Additive Manufacturing is only at the start

of its development history – its potential lies

in its future applications.'
