AM Academy Course at AMUG: Technology Identification, Suitability & Applications in Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing is transforming industries, yet with the wide range of available processes and materials, the key question remains: Which technology is most suitable for which application?

This interactive workshop provides a clear and practical framework to answer that question. Participants will gain an overview of the most relevant metal and polymer AM technologies, explore their current challenges, and discuss how to evaluate application requirements. Through a mix of expert presentations, case examples, and hands-on group exercises, attendees will actively map applications to the most suitable AM processes.

The workshop mixes theory and practice, offering the opportunity to engage with peers, examine real printed parts, and discuss real-world examples that demonstrate how technology selection drives successful AM adoption. Participants will leave with a structured understanding of AM process suitability and actionable strategies to apply in their own work.
