Design for Additive Manufacturing - elearning Course
This highly interactive eLearning
course will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to
exploit the design freedom of Additive Manufacturing and take a design from
conception through to AM processing.
Can you…
- Explain how to optimise the functional design of a component for Additive Manufacturing?
- Demonstrate best practice in optimising a design for manufacture through simulation?
- Exploit the design freedom of AM?
- Describe best practice for down selection and finite element analysis?
If you’ve answered ‘no’ to any of these, then this course is for you.
Target Audience:
This eLearning course is aimed at Design Engineers who are interesting in adopting additive manufacturing.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you will:
- Differentiate between the old DfM/DfF rules and the new DfAM philosophy.
- Consider the new business models and opportunities which DfAM allows.
- Explain the ways DfAM can be used to add value including lightweighting, part consolidation and complex internal geometries.
- Define the available materials and processes and determine the factors which influence their suitability for a given design.
- State the opportunities for Reverse Engineering in AM.
- Apply AM design considerations to specific design features.
- Simulate Topology Optimisation for an AM part and explain the unique benefits of using this process with AM.
- Consider the design implications for later stages in the manufacturing process including post-processing and inspection.
- Identify the uses of simulation in Design for Function and Design for Manufacturability in AM.
- Recognise the file types, data workflow and possible upcoming changes to AM digital thread.
- Compare the overall workflow of DfAM with conventional manufacturing.
