Compare conventional and additive manufacturing, understand the evolution, workflow, and benefits of additive manufacturing, including 3D printing, with applications across aerospace, automotive, medical, and Industry 4.0.
Compare conventional versus additive manufacturing to show how tooling and design limits shape costs and lead times; additive manufacturing offers tooling-free production, design freedom, and cost independence from complexity.
Define additive manufacturing as building objects by joining materials from 3D model data, layer upon layer, using various energy sources, enabling complex, lightweight, high-strength geometries.
Learn to create a 3D model in CAD, prepare a build with supports, slice into layers, generate G-code, print by melting or fusing material, perform post-processing, and inspect for quality.
Explore how additive manufacturing offers design freedom, part consolidation, lightweight and optimized geometries, and shorter lead times, enabling bespoke medical implants, aerospace parts, and automotive components.
Explore the seven ASTM categories of additive manufacturing, focusing on photopolymerization and stereolithography, including the resin, laser, platform, and post processing workflow.
Learn how material extrusion builds parts by melting, extruding, and depositing thermoplastic filaments layer by layer, including FDM printers, workflows, post-processing, and material options.
Material jetting builds parts by dispensing droplets that cure under UV light, layer by layer. Printheads with thousands of nozzles enable continuous or drop on demand deposition for high-accuracy parts.
Binder jetting builds parts by layer-by-layer deposition of a liquid binder on a powder bed, with post-processing like infiltration and sintering to strengthen various metals, polymers, and ceramics.
Explore sheet lamination to bond and cut sheets into a 3d object with a blade or laser, using adhesives, heat, and ultrasonic welding in laminated object manufacturing.
Explore powder bed fusion, a layer-by-layer process using laser or electron beam to sinter or melt powder. Learn techniques like SLS, SLM, DMLS, and EBM for prototypes and complex parts.
Learn the powder bed fusion workflow, including powder spreading, layer-by-layer laser melting, post-processing, and metrology, with material options and applications for laser sintering, laser melting, and electron beam melting.
Direct energy deposition adds material while melting and fusing it with a laser, electron beam, or plasma arc, delivering powder or wire to create or repair parts.
BIZM presents a brief overview of our course Additive Manufacturing – Foundation.
The course provides a holistic perspective of Additive Manufacturing Technology. The course presents an opportunity to see through & understand additive manufacturing as in real life using 3D animation driven visual platform.
Course starts by introducing the basics of Additive manufacturing process and its unique attributes and offerings while comparing with traditional manufacturing processes.
You will get familiarized with additive manufacturing fundamentals, general process workflows, benefits & limitations along with real life industrial applications. The course will provide an insight on the business case requisites (when to choose additive) for additive manufacturing over conventional manufacturing processes.
The Course will help you visualize seven different types of additive manufacturing processes, their workflows, pros& cons of each process and applications.
The course will benefit you in understanding various parts and operations of different Additive Machines (3D Printers) associated with different additive manufacturing processes.
The course facilitates thorough understanding of each of the Seven Additive processes exploiting 3D animation based visualization platform. You will be able to distinguish different additive processes and select an appropriate process for the given application.
You will be introduced to the post processing operations for each of the seven additive processes and their role in providing finished parts. The course discusses real life applications across different industries to appreciate the wide spread usage of additive manufacturing technology.
To reinforce all the learning, you will also go through an exam of multiple choice questions to test your knowledge acquired throughout the course. These questions are carefully prepared to further strengthen your knowledge of Additive manufacturing.
