Additive manufacturing learning community in Brainport

Specific application area per masterclass

In the AM masterclases companies can learn about the possibilities of additive manufacturing. Each masterclass focusses on one application area. Per masterclass participants gain knowledge based on real-life use cases, about starting or scaling with 3D printing in a specific sector. Topics that are discussed are reasons to start, return on investment, results, investments and the process of implementation. The masterclass is relevant for manufacturing companies and end users who want an introduction in this new production technology.

The masterclasses offer a varied program across multiple sectors. Allowing participants to enhance their knowledge on any specific application area or to choose the aspects of the technology they want to know more about. During the masterclasses, we furthermore elaborate on information shared in previous sessions, refer to training courses and offer opportunities to start exploring and experimenting with the applications of your choice by means of vouchers or innovation partnerships. That is why we call it a ‘learning community’.
