Additive Manufacturing

Goals & Benefits

3D printing is one of the most exciting technologies for manufacturing and research & development. In the training, you will develop an in-depth understanding and skills for this manufacturing method. This includes the technology, proven process models, leading cross-functional teams required for 3D printing, and analyzing your customer’s core needs. In addition, you will learn how to concretely introduce Additive Manufacturing in your company as an innovation manager:
Redefinition of customer’s needs, derived requirements for production
Rapid inductive approach via assumption validation in the introduction
Rapid implementation by breaking down proof of concept and implementation work into small experiments
Overview of technical possibilities in 3D printing
