Fundamentals Training: Design for Additive Manufacturing

Brainport Industries Campus, BIC 1, 5657 BX, Eindhoven

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is changing how we design and build—enabling lighter, stronger, more complex parts. But traditional design rules don’t always apply. This two-day, hands-on training covers the fundamentals of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) to help you harness AM’s full potential. Learn to rethink your projects and optimize for performance, quality and cost.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to create AM-ready designs that maximize the benefits of additive technologies.
