IIT Madras Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE) is launching a 6-month certificate course for Industry Professionals on Additive Manufacturing Technologies for Practicing Engineers. This course is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of pre and post-processing methodologies, design strategy for additive manufacturing and operational principles of additive manufacturing processes.

About the Course

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a viable and cost-effective, net shape manufacturing process for low volume production of complex body implants with specific custom-made designs. The potential use of AM for various engineering and biomedical applications is immense. This course is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of pre and post-processing methodologies, design strategy for additive manufacturing and operational principles of additive manufacturing processes. Practicing engineers can learn about the fundamental principles that govern various additive manufacturing methodologies and how the developed knowledge is applied in service to improve the commercial applicability of available additive manufacturing technologies. 

The 6 modules in the course cover topics around Processes, Design, Materials, Post Processing, Testing and Standardization. Learners will also get in-depth knowledge of Applications and Case Studies. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the fundamentals of AM processes, materials and design for AM and post processing methodologies.
2. Learn the generic process chain of AM Technologies by hands-on training
3. Obtain an ability to apply AM technologies disruptively in various engineering industries.
4. Analyze and appreciate the impact of AM technologies in product design and development. 
5. Comprehend the testing, qualification and standardization methods and procedures for AM materials and components.

Eligibility Criteria

Anyone who has a minimum of  Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Applied Sciences or Basic Sciences with at least 3 years of work experience.

Course Mode: ONLINE 

This course comprises 72 hours of recorded videos and 24 hours of online interactive sessions with the faculty. 

The course is structured in the following manner:

• Participants need to watch around 6 hours of video content (not more than 3 hours in a particular module) every week. 

• A live interaction session would be scheduled every Saturday with the corresponding faculty to discuss the module content and clarify queries. The duration of this session would be 1 hour.
