Training Course Content
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Differentiate between the old DfM/DfF rules and the new DfAM philosophy.
- Consider the new business models and opportunities which DfAM allows.
- Explain the ways DfAM can be used to add value including lightweighting, part consolidation and complex internal geometries.
- Define the available materials and processes and determine the factors which influence their suitability for a given design.
- State the opportunities for Reverse Engineering in AM.
- Apply AM design considerations to specific design features.
- Simulate Topology Optimisation for an AM part and explain the unique benefits of using this process with AM.
