Education Mini Course: Critical Thinking in the Application of Additive Manufacturing Processes (Registration Required)
Instructor: Dr. Dan Dennies, DMS, Inc.
Additive manufacturing is a rapidly growing fabrication process. However, the metal Additive Manufacturing(AM) processes are not the best choice for all hardware. The various metal AM processes must be evaluated using critical thinking prior to selection for each and every part, just like all fabrication processes.
This course introduces the metal AM processes and discusses the potential sources of failure that are currently known, or should be anticipated, for metal AM processed hardware. In addition, the course discusses the effect of the metal AM processes on the failure analysis process. Lastly, this course discusses areas of consideration when using metal AM processes including design, metallurgy, production, quality, supplier management, and failure investigation, as well as providing some potential solutions.
