Design for Metal Powder Bed Fusion

Design for Metal Powder Bed Fusion

Using a mix of interactive videos featuring experts from within the Design for Additive Manufacture team from the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), online discussions, software simulations and self-paced activities, this online course will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge that you need to be able to exploit the design freedom of additive manufacturing. It will take you through the stages needed, from conception to the design of a component using best practice methods and appropriate software, to ensure that your component is optimised for function and manufacturing via metal powder bed fusion additive methods.

Is this course for you?

Are you looking to explain how to optimise the functional design of a component for additive manufacturing using metal powder bed fusion?
Do you want to demonstrate best practice in optimising a design for manufacture through simulation?
Are you wanting to exploit the design freedom of additive manufacturing using metal powder bed fusion?
Do you want to be able to describe best practice for down selection and finite element analysis?
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to any of these, then this course is for you.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course you will be able to design parts that are optimised for function and manufacturing via the metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing methods that you use in your workplace.
