FAQ

This course is designed for prospective metal machine operators and data preparation personnel preparing builds for manufacturing on EOS metal-based machines (e.g., M100, M290, M300, and M400).

The comprehensive focus of this course on a single intricate issue and the thorough involvement of EOS experts in its webinars and Q&A sessions make it stand head and shoulders above similar certification programs. Its dependence on the learner's interaction — i.e., "learning by doing" in the practice task modules — will also have a positive long-term impact on their data preparation skills.

No, all required software training licenses are provided. You’ll have 6 months of access to EOSPRINT 2 and 60 days of access to Materialise Magics upon obtaining the license. Please note that the Magics training license won’t be reactivated upon expiration.

We recommend that learners who take this course have a strong technical background and (at least) moderate experience in additive manufacturing. Familiarity with AM-specific software and computer-aided design (CAD) programs is also ideal, though not specifically required.

This certificate program typically spans a 2-4 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.
