Course Description
Additive manufacturing (AM) is dynamic and ever-changing. Announcements of new technologies and improved solutions seem to occur on a weekly basis. Join us for a 30-minute webinar to receive a snapshot of existing AM technologies and newly announced AM solutions, coupled with highlights to offer guidance on what to consider as you evaluate AM for new, or existing, applications.
This course is presented as part of the Innovations in Additive Manufacturing web series.

- Discuss the true breadth of AM technologies, materials and processes.
- Identify technologies that can assist in AM projects that are being evaluated/considered.
