About this course
Additive Manufacturing for Spare Parts gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of additive manufacturing technologies and materials and qualification, then builds the skills to apply spare parts use cases, design for AM and quality and certification in real work. Mechanical engineering courses on rotating and static equipment, codes, welding and inspection for plant engineers and technicians. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2029.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Mechanical engineers, maintenance supervisors, technicians, inspectors and reliability staff. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
