MakeAmaze training courses:

We believe that incorporating AM is a no brainer for any company that makes things, as long as business and technical decisions are made with insight.

To help enable this, we offer two intermediate level training courses, for designers and engineers:

Designer for Polymer FDM

Complete this training and learn how to:

  • stages Decide whether AM is suitable and which process family to use
  • Take a design from concept through to the build model
  • Μinimise manufacturing risk & cost, maximise your benefit
  • Match FDM capabilities to the design requirements
  • Know the simulation options for FDM
  • Design for and choose the best post-processing options
  • Estimate manufacturing costs
  • Create the stage drawings and Production Pack for manufacturing
  • Ensure traceability
  • Design for sustainability

A polymer manifold

This novel and efficient manifold design can only be made using additive manufacturing. Designed by Will Utting.

SHAKEAM training

AM design process

The AM design process is unique. You are designing the material at the same time as the form.

Optimised piston

This a topology optimised aluminium piston for an internal combustion engine

Machining fixture

AM parts are often a challenge to hold while machining. A polymer 3D printed jig solves this problem.

Rake

This gas turbine rake measures temperatures in the LP turbine.

Post processing

Metal AM parts almost always need post-processing. These parts are test samples of a titanium aeleron hinge made by EBM. 

Multimaterials

Polymer (and metal) AM parts can combine multiple materials in the same part. This example is a sycamore leaf shape, with stiff ribs and flexible skin.
