If you want to learn about 3D printing, here\u2019s your chance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we\u2019ve all been home with extra time on our hands, we decided to put together a small course on additive. This is a very basic course, mostly for people who are new to additive manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Episodes 1 through 4, we cover some basic AM terms, some use cases for 3D printing, the major technologies for plastic and metal printing, prototype printing, and production printing. If you\u2019re an experienced AM user, we did include some content for you as well, but you may want to skip ahead and have a look at Episode 5 which includes some more advanced thinking about additive and what is possible with the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal here is to help people who are new to additive understand the basics of the technology. There is no sales pitch. There are no demonstrations of Siemens software or hardware. This is just a case of us wanting to help as many people as possible learn about this amazing new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more informtaion and\/or if you know someone who is interested in additive but doesn\u2019t know where to start, or maybe someone who is looking for a career change, or someone who\u2019s just interested in learning about new technologies, please feel free to point them to the original blog post<\/a>, written by Ashley Eckhoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
