The Academy can match you regardless of the AM mode you’re in. From strategy to machine maintenance, we’ve got you covered.

MANAGEMENT

Embracing the most advanced and exciting technologies being developed today – like AM – will put you in good stead for the future of the manufacturing industry. With the Additive Minds Academy, you can build a framework for your path forward with industrial 3D printing. Whether that means learning how to scale your AM business with the AM Production program or by building your most competitive Business Case Analysis with the help of our team, let us maximize your industrial 3D printing benefits and train your team at the same time.

OPERATION

While the purchase of an AM system and within your organization is a large and celebratory step, the singularly most important is operation education. Courses such as the Polymer Machine Operator Training and the Metal Machine Operator Training allow your team to take their AM system education at an independent pace, assuring your organization is building a foundational understanding of our AM systems innerworkings. These trainings also lend themselves to onboarding for your organization, rather than spending additional time to train new members of your team.

DESIGN

All additive manufacturing projects begin with design. Creating parts and products that are lighter, better performing, and potentially cheaper to produce stand out as key advantages of AM. But these possibilities can't easily be realized if your understanding of manufacturing design is rooted in more traditional methods. Participating in Additive Minds Academy courses such as the Fundamentals of AM Design or more specialized courses like Metal Support-Free AM where you can leverage EOS software for potential design features increase your team’s AM abilities and strike creativity for your next project.

ENGINEERING

At the core of AM technology is the specialty of engineering applications for AM. Understanding how the rotation of an application within a build might change the application’s surface finish, how the angle of a part needs to be supported, or not at all, because of the printing process, and how data preparation can save your organization time and materials down the road are all key factors to successful industrial 3D printing. Leverage courses such as the Polymer or Metal Data Preparation Certificate Programs to increase your team’s AM expertise and keep your team current with AM technology techniques.
