Additive Technologies in Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering

The use of additive technologies is one of the clearest examples of how new developments and equipment can significantly improve traditional manufacturing. 

We will consider what additive technologies are for the metallurgical and machine-building industries. For what purposes it is possible to use selective laser fusion, laser cladding and finally detonation spraying.

Which of the world's leading steel companies are already interested in these technologies and how additive technologies can change our future.

The entire course is designed for 6 weeks. As part of this course, the following subsections will be available to you: 

• Video-lectures. Each topic of the module contains one video lecture that reveals the topic.  
• Lecture notes
• Tests. You'll have 4 obligatory tests, selfchecking tests and final exam test.

Module 1. Metallurgical and mechanical engineering industries as an application of additive technologies

Module 2. Object digitization and 3d prototyping

Module 2. Object digitization and 3d prototyping

Module 4. Thermal spraying

Module 5. Laser metal deposition

Module 6. Direct metal deposition

At the end of the course you will be able to:
