The Process Science and Engineering certificate program for metal laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) offers a comprehensive learning experience, combining self-paced online courses with hands-on exercises and instructor-led training sessions. This program is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet specific part properties and cost targets for your part design.

Starting with the optimization of process parameters and exposure strategies, you will also delve into various post-processing methods, including heat treatment and surface finishing, which may be essential to fulfill part-specific requirements. You will gain an understanding of how these adjustments impact part properties and microstructure, and you will learn to analyze these effects effectively.

Once your manufacturing process is defined, the program emphasizes the importance of achieving consistent and reproducible part properties. You will also explore the key process variables that the LPBF system controls to ensure a stable manufacturing process.

This program is launching in July 2024. Save your spot today to participate in the first cohort.

This course is designed for process and applications engineers, material scientist and quality engineers that are working on metal laser powder bed fusion related programs.

The comprehensive focus of this course on all aspects related to the core of the metal laser powder bed fusion process make it stand head and shoulders above similar certification programs. The in-depth information about all steps of the AM process chain from process parameter development to post-processing will have a positive long-term impact on their understanding of the whole metal LPBF process.

No, all required software training licenses are provided. You’ll have 6 months of access to the EOSPRINT 2 parameter editor upon obtaining the license.

We recommend that learners who take this course have a technical background and (at least) moderate experience in additive manufacturing. Familiarity with EOSPRINT 2 basics for the Parameter Editor training is required.

The Process Science and Engineering for Metal AM Certificate Program typically spans to up to a 4-week duration. Upon finishing the online learning modules and final assessment, participants gain the opportunity to engage in an Expert session facilitated monthly by the Additive Minds Academy. In the event of missing the current session, participants have the option to join the subsequent one. Every certificate program encompasses a complementary Expert session, and learners enjoy 12 months of access to the online content learning platform.

You will be able to download your certification via the program portal after you successfully finish all modules and exams.
