About the Course
As additive manufacturing processes are getting into mainstream industrial production, it becomes more important than ever to demonstrate Quality Assurance to create quality products. The Quality Assurance for Additive Manufacturing (AM) course will provide attendees with a strong baseline knowledge of what Quality Assurance means for AM, and what to consider when making components for critical applications.
This short course will include an interactive workshop, where the participants will be able to review a typical Quality Assurance challenge, and how you would manage it.
Course level: Beginner
Note: This short certificate course will take place on Sunday, October 30th, 2022 prior to ICAM 2022 and is only available to ICAM 2022 attendees. This course is not included in ICAM registration and will incur an additional fee.
Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the attendees will be able to achieve the following:
- Understand quality assurance aspects for AM process and products
- Knowledge of the quality requirements for an AM facility
- Able to link quality concepts to the requirements of Qualification and Certification
- Appreciate the need for quality assurance for AM process chain
- Considerations while making parts for critical applications
Who Should Attend
This course is aimed at individuals who wish to increase their basic experience in Quality Assurance or those who have experience from other manufacturing technologies and wish to understand where AM may be different. More experienced individuals are also encouraged to join the course to support and improve their current knowledge.
