EOSTATE Exposure OT & Smart Fusion for Metal Additive Manufacturing
Description
Unlock your potential with the EOSTATE Exposure OT and Smart Fusion Certificate Program, an immersive learning journey designed for application engineers, process engineers, and quality assurance engineers engaged in the field of additive manufacturing (AM).
In the intricate world of AM, every link in the process chain is pivotal. This new certificate program zeroes in on the critical areas of LPBF process monitoring and optimization, utilizing the innovative approach of optical tomography (OT) — a distinctive offering in the AM market. OT allows for comprehensive monitoring of the process not just during the melting phase but also after solidification, offering insights unmatched by conventional methods.
Additionally, the program covers advanced strategies for enhancing the printing process through Smart Fusion. This involves the application of a closed feedback loop that harnesses OT data for real-time process adjustments. The curriculum is designed to equip engineers with the tools to apply process monitoring best practices, enhancing their understanding of the process and enabling documentation of production. This is vital not only for quality assurance but also for achieving support-free AM, leveraging Smart Fusion's capabilities to utilize OT data for live process regulation.
Set to launch in June 2024, this program represents a unique opportunity to advance your skills in AM. Secure your spot today and be among the first to benefit from this innovative learning experience.
