Description
This online course focuses on the 3D printing technology Directed Energy Deposition – or DED. The course gives you a 360-degree introduction to the technology, where you learn about e.g. the printing process, typical applications of the technology, types of materials, design options and the different types of finishing. This will give you an understanding of the benefits and limitations of the technology so you can better assess when it makes sense to apply. The course can be completed in both Danish and English and is available online for 365 days.Learn more about Directed Energy DepositionAdditive Manufacturing (AM) – or 3D printing – is increasingly used as a production resource and thus no longer only for prototypes. Several independent analyses point to 3D printing as one of the manufacturing technologies that Danish industry can use to improve competitiveness and maintain Danish production jobs.In this course, we go in depth with the 3D printing technology Directed Energy Deposition. Here you get an overview of all the different aspects of the technology, so you are better equipped to assess whether Directed Energy Deposition makes sense for you – and when. With the Danish Technological Institute as a course provider, you are also sure to get an independent and objective review of the technology.BenefitsUnderstanding of the technology and how it worksOverview of benefits and limitations for this specific 3D printing technologyKnowledge of materials and process stepsInsight into the various design options as well as the design rules for this technologyInspiration for different applications of the technology from case examplesAttention to the safety aspectsKnowledge of quality assurance and post processing
