Additive Manufacturing (AM) is becoming famous for producing numerous technical and biological components. AM has enormous promise for usage in various technical and biological applications. It has already established itself as a feasible, cost-effective, and net-shape manufacturing technology for the low-volume manufacture of complicated body implants with unique custom-made designs.

Importance of the training

This course is intended for practising engineers and middle-level managers who have yet to receive classroom instruction in additive manufacturing previously. "The goal of this course is to provide both fundamental and applied knowledge of additive manufacturing technologies," says Dr. Murugaiyan Amirthalingam, Associate Professor at IIT Madras' Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.

"Those who want to implement various AM technologies in their workplace can benefit from this course," says Dr. Murugaiyan Amirthalingam. This course will provide a complete review of pre-and post-processing procedures, design strategies for additive manufacturing, and additive manufacturing process operational concepts.

Engineers in practice may learn about the underlying principles that govern diverse additive manufacturing processes and how this knowledge is utilised in service to increase the commercial usability of existing additive manufacturing technologies.

Learners who complete this course can jump-start their careers in additive manufacturing.

Learning Objectives of IIT Madras Course

• Understanding the principles of AM processes, materials, and design for AM, as well as post-processing techniques
• Hands-on instruction in the genetic process chain of AM Technologies
• Develop the capacity to utilise innovative AM technologies in numerous engineering sectors.
• Examine and evaluate the influence of additive manufacturing technology on product design and development.
• Understand the processes and procedures for testing, qualification, and standardisation of AM materials and components.
