Design for Polymer Powder Bed Fusion
This hands-on practical course will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to exploit the design freedom of polymer Additive Manufacturing and take a design from conception through to AM processing.
Is this course for you?
Can you…
- Explain how to optimise the functional design of a component for Additive Manufacturing?
- Exploit the design freedom of AM?
- Design components which follow the particular design rules for your chosen polymer technology?
If you’ve answered ‘no’ to any of these, then this course is for you.
