Build Skills with Additive Manufacturing Online Course
Learn more about
Processing-Structure-Properties Foundations in Additive Manufacturing, a new online course from TMS. A team of experts will deliver four modules with live instruction on January 10–13, 2022.
In the first module, instructors will give an overview of processing in direct metal additive manufacturing technologies and their industrial applications and then lead an in-depth discussion on the process design framework. The second and third modules cover the structure and properties of additive manufacturing materials, while the fourth module is an optional, self-paced project to analyze an additive manufacturing material data set.
Any industry professional, researcher, and university student, as well as leaders or managers who would like to gain new knowledge and skills in additive manufacturing, should take this course.
Instructional sessions will be recorded and available to participants for a limited time after the course concludes.
