Additive Manufacturing with Lasers

Education facts

Code: ATL600

This course gives an applied introduction to metal Additive Manufacturing with lasers. It provides an overview of laser machines, laser beam guiding and the use of laser beams for Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) processes. Proper use of equipment will be discussed along with discovering the possibilities of process design. Impacts of process and material parameters will be discussed, evaluated and tested in the laboratory at University West. Monitoring devices and their possibilities and limitations for inline process observations and control will be introduced. The course is mainly delivered via distance learning in a flexible, net-based form with two physical meetings. Some course meetings are compulsory. You will benefit from the course if you want to learn about the laser as a tool and its use for Additive Manufacturing as an additional aspect to your previous theoretical knowledge or practical experience. ## Industry and academy This course has been developed in collaboration with industry partners within the framework of one of our educational projects. The project aims to provide courses at the advanced level to a mix of professionals and students to strengthen the Swedish industry's competitiveness. We apply validation of work experience to see if you have knowledge that corresponds to the eligibility requirements for the course. Do not forget to attach a description if you are applying based on work experience, a form is available on our website [www.hv.se/produktionskurser](<https://www.hv.se/produktionskurser>). ## SCHEDULE From the start of the course, the updated schedule will apply on the course's Canvas page.
