What You’ll Learn

Unlocking Revenue Opportunities in Additive Manufacturing & 3D CAD

As additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D CAD continue to revolutionise production, businesses and professionals must understand the technology and also how to generate income from it. The UK’s advanced manufacturing sector is rapidly adopting these innovations, yet many professionals lack the expertise to leverage them commercially. This course is designed to bridge that gap, equipping learners with the technical knowledge and business strategies needed to monetise additive manufacturing.

Why choose 3D 360 to support your next project?

Intro to Additive Manufacturing (AM)

Understanding the fundamentals of AM, its benefits and how it differs from traditional manufacturing methods.

The 7 Key Processes of AM

A breakdown of the core AM techniques, their applications and how they shape the future of production.

Vat Photo-polymerisation & Material Jetting

Examining resin-based printing (stereolithography and digital light processing) and material jetting, highlighting their precision, multi-material capabilities and use in prototyping and final product manufacturing.

Material Extrusion & Binder Jetting

Understanding filament-based processes like fused deposition modelling (FDM) and powder-based binder jetting, focusing on their cost-effectiveness, accessibility and commercial potential.

Powder Bed Fusion & Directed Energy Deposition

Explore laser-based AM techniques such as selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting (SLM) and directed energy deposition, exploring their applications in aerospace, automotive and high-strength component manufacturing.

Sheet Lamination & AM Materials

Examining how layered material processes work, alongside an overview of AM materials including polymers, metals, ceramics and composites along with their properties in manufacturing.

3D CAD & Design for Additive Manufacturing

Understanding how 3D CAD enables effective product design, rapid prototyping and custom manufacturing, with a focus on optimising designs for AM efficiency.

Business Models & Revenue Streams in AM

Exploring different ways to generate income, including custom production, on-demand manufacturing, prototyping services and digital product design.

Future of Additive Manufacturing

A forward-looking discussion on emerging trends, evolving business opportunities and how professionals can stay ahead in the AM and 3D CAD landscape.
