Events

This course will:

• Identify the differences between PBF, LPBF vs EBPBF and the ability to explain working principle of LPBF
• Demonstrate the capability to design for AM (DfAM) LPBF Metals
• Ability to identify and employ software packages used for pre-processing (STL healing, orientation, part duplication, labeling, support generation)
• Recognize the commonalities and differences on the primary components/systems of LPBF equipment from different vendors
• Understand the commonalities for performing machine setups on different LPBF OEM/vendors
• Ability to perform setup and maintain LPBF equipment using best industry practices
• Show understanding of powder-laser (material-energy source) interaction; physical phenomena and effects on the LPBF process (print-wise, metallurgically, material properties)
• Understand effects of process variables such as laser power, velocity, scanning strategy, shielding gas flow, etc.
• Identify monitoring methods employed in LPBF including advantages and shortcomings
• Ability to select print material for a given application performing cost-performance analysis
• Identify the thermal post-processing techniques for a given material and required conditions as set in applicable standards
• Recognize post-processing needs and methods required for LPBF components
