萝莉社 NIAR鈥檚 Expert-Level Additive Manufacturing (AM) Certificate Program is an in-person, 3-day training that incorporates hands-on exercises and lectures.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Provides advanced-level CAD training on wireframe and surface design.
- Learn the importance of performing topology optimization on legacy parts.
- Acquaint yourself with parameter optimization, quality (ASTM-driven procedures), and the business and economics aspects of AM.
- Primarily focuses on metal AM using directed energy deposition (DED) / powder bed fusion (PBF) technologies to produce parts.
Course Topics:
- Module 1 鈥� AM Business & Economics
Impact of AM on the global supply chain, influence of cost-effective AM systems, future of AM, the economics of AM, AM business case development, AM example parts, case studies- Traditional Manufacturing Vs Additive Manufacturing. - Module 2 鈥� Topology Optimization (TO)
What is Topology Optimization?, advantages of TO, Topology Optimization process, applications of TO, TO software, traditional TO VS modern TO, TO on 3DEXPERIENCE, TO design exercise. - Module 3 鈥� Advanced CAD
Surface design process, generative shape design workbench, wireframe tools summary, surface tools, operations on surface and wireframe geometry, advanced surface tools, advanced operations on surface geometry. - Module 4 鈥� Metal AM
Metal AM essentials (DED & PBF), directed energy deposition (DED) / powder bed fusion (PBF) demo, slicer software demo, machine setup, build, post-processing, lab tour. - Module 5 鈥� Parameter Optimization
Metal AM slicer software settings, metal AM process parameters/3D printing parameters. - Module 6 鈥� Quality
Introduction to quality, quality standards, quality control methods in AM, ASTM testing procedures.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the business and economic aspects of additive manufacturing and propose a business model.
- Generate a topology-optimized structure by modifying the design of a legacy part.
- Apply advanced wireframe and surface design tools and operations to develop a complex CAD part.
- Determine the appropriate print parameters to carry out a successful DED / PBF print.
- Produce a 3D-printed part using a DED / PBF machine.
- Analyze the quality of AM components by gaining a comprehensive understanding of testing methods standardized by ASTM.
