FOR PRICING & AVAILABILITY // [email protected]
Our experts have designed a technology agnostic curriculum on the practical application of additive technologiesto achieve greater results throughout the entire product development process and in to production. This established training program helps companies push the limits of manufacturing to drive industry-leading innovation.
• Learn How to Effectively Approach Design & Manufacturing from an Additive Technology Perspective• Examine Freedom of Complexity to Increase Product Possibility by Way of Physics-Based Design• Review a Wide Range of Materials, Matured Technologies, & Industry-Specific Application Development
The curriculum is based on FATHOM’s technology agnostic approach to solving today’s toughest product development and manufacturing challenges. FATHOM encourages teams to focus on how a product should function, rather than how it will be made,to realize better products with the greatest functionality.
Our experts will further develop your understanding of how to blend additive technologies with traditional manufacturing during concept development and beyond prototyping into manufacturing.
