The potential advantages offered by Additive Manufacturing can be fully exploited only with adequate knowledge of this family of processes and the possibilities and limitations of design. Materials, geometric freedom, process constraints, post-processing, and subsequent finishing are all important factors that contribute to defining the quality and performance of the product. This course aims to provide participants with the necessary knowledge for effective component design, with particular attention to the added value that can be obtained when a component is designed by leveraging all the advantages of additive technologies.
