Innovating Product Development with 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing
About This Course
This course, Innovating Product Development with 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, provides a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage advanced manufacturing technologies for product development. Participants will explore key additive manufacturing (AM) systems and technologies, learning to evaluate material selection, benefits, and trade-offs. The course covers innovative product development using 3D printing, as well as reverse engineering techniques using 3D scanning to enhance design and manufacturing processes.
The second part of the course delves into identifying and resolving process-related issues in AM. Learners will analyze requirements for successful AM implementation and explore optimization techniques to improve manufacturing efficiency. By the end of the course, participants will be able to assess the impact of process improvements and apply these strategies to drive innovation in product development.
