Course Type: Self Study

This self-study course is designed to be taken at your convenience, and on your own schedule. You have 90 days to finish the course from the time of purchase.

Do you want to learn about the Additive Manufacturing challenges (and sometimes failures) in producing functional parts with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) machines? Navigating through the complexity of working with the materials characteristics and L-PBF technology to produce a viable, functional part is a critical component in Metal 3D Printing. Learn how to interpret process-inherent features on printed parts and understand how they relate to mechanical properties.

Are you curious about the challenges in producing functional parts with additive manufacturing? Do you want to learn about producing parts with L-PBF machines? Navigating and working with metal materials to produce viable, functional parts with L-PBF technology is a critical component in Metal AM. In this course you will learn how to interpret process-inherent features on printed parts and understand how they relate to mechanical properties.

This Materials Properties course provides an introduction to material properties for L-PBF parts. It covers the range of material properties observed, the variability in material properties, how and why this variability exists, and methods to account for this variability.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

• Correlate how powders for L-PBF are produced and analyze their distinct features.
• Discover the effects of microstructure and surface roughness on mechanical integrity.
• Contrast the influence of the L-PBF process on the microstructure and surface roughness of parts.
• Analyze how the microstructure L-PBF part can be changed in post-processing.
• Describe the concept of the L-PBF process, its unique thermal history, and aptly interpret material data.
• Explain the workflow for developing process parameters for L-PBF materials.

Who should attend?
Engineering teams at design and manufacturing firms, as well as individuals. This course was designed for early to mid-career engineers, including design engineers, materials engineers, manufacturing engineers, and others with an interest in design for additive manufacturing with metals with a focus on laser powder-bed fusion.

At the end of the course, a final exam will assess learners' knowledge through real world problems evaluating their understanding and applicable knowledge of course material.

To receive your Certificate of Completion for this course, you must receive 80% or above on the final exam at the end of the course. The exam will evaluate your understanding of the material based on the content and assessments you engaged with along your journey.

AM Manufacturability: Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Course Code: AM214
Course Type: Self Study

Additive Manufacturing with metals is becoming more and more relevant in the production of products, parts and components. One of the most important of today's metal AM technologies is the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) process. The fast development of the L-PBF process offers new opportunities for various industries. ASME’s AM Manufacturability online training course will walk you through the process parameters and design constraints of the metal L-PBF process.

This course is an interactive, self-study course in which engineers and managers will work through the L-PBF technology, and what needs to be considered to complete a successful print. Engineers and managers will learn about design restrictions, technology limitations, and support structure design. The course will focus on the success of manufacturability within the context of ASME's Replicate Adapt Optimize™ methodology.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

• Evaluate a part design for manufacturability. 
• Identify the sequence of the L-PBF process.
• Assess the risks of an L-PBF build job. 
• Classify functional support structures. 
• Differentiate the L-PBF process chain from conventional manufacturing process chains.

Candidate Part Selection for Metal Additive Manufacturing

Course Code: VCAM271
Course Type: Virtual Classroom

Length: 1 days CEUs: 0.40 PDHs: 4.00

Schedule: This course commences at 9 AM and ends at 1 PM Eastern.

Are you looking to build parts with metal additive manufacturing? While Additive Manufacturing opens doors to new lines of design thinking and creative configurations, the key to a successful project lies in the selection of appropriate parts. This Virtual Classroom course will guide you as you identify parts that can benefit from design for additive manufacturing and learn a methodology for selection of parts.

To maximize the value of metal additive manufacturing, applications must be selected that leverage additive’s technical advantages and economic structure while complying with its limitations. In this course, participants will learn the technical and economic criteria used to determine if a part is a candidate for this set of technologies. Additionally, participants will learn and practice the application of a methodology to efficiently find and rank candidate parts.

Participants will receive digital access to course presentation.

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

• Identify parts that can benefit from DfAM.
• Understand the technical capabilities and limitations of metal additive manufacturing.
• Develop an economic model for candidate parts.
• Apply a methodology for selecting and ranking candidate parts.

Who should attend?
The intended audience for this class includes project managers, design engineers, operations engineers, and quality managers working with metal additive manufacturing. In selecting candidate parts for metal additive, each of these roles must provide input and understand the factors influencing the process. This is not specific to any one industry, but it is most applicable to aerospace, automotive, and medical industries.
