Trainings for members in the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing

Metal additive manufacturing

The Application Center for Additive Manufacturing is pleased to share a series of exclusive webinars with you as a partner in the center. The series is divided into five self-contained episodes that emphasize different aspects of metal additive manufacturing.

The first webinar is an introduction to metal additive manufacturing as such, and subsequent webinars covers various aspects for powder bed fusion processes, focusing on laser as an energy source.

More information about each webinar is provided below. If you are interested in a specific episode, or all of them, please contact us.

Webinar 1 – Introduction to metal additive manufacturing
