Hands-On Training
/in Design, Production /by bureauoberhoffHands-On Training
About this course
From the construction of a training-part, machine preparations, unpacking of machine, to post processing of the printed part, here you will be introduced to the entire process of Additive Manufacturing. The goal of this training is to acquire a deep and practical understanding of the process chain of Additive Manufacturing. In hands-on exercises the participants learn the basics of data preparation, machine operation, quality assurance and post processing of Laser Beam Melting. At the end of the training, the participants can take their pre and post processed parts home with them.
