This tutorial will provide a basis for determining process options, uses, properties, applications, and opportunities for cost-effective metal additive manufacturing (AM). Individuals who will benefit from the tutorial include engineers, business managers, procurement managers, component designers, and technicians. This course is a must for consumers of metal AM components and organizations that are exploring the opportunities associated with developing their own metal AM facilities.

Registrants will receive a certificate of completion.

Included in the Tutorial:

• Overview of Metal AM Processes (Fusion and Solid State)
• Powder Feedstock Characteristics
• Fusion-Based Metal AM Processes:
  • Beam-Material Interactions and
  • Rapid Solidification Mechanisms
• Non-Fusion Metal AM Processes:
  • Sintering and Solid-State Transformations
