ASTM International has announced it will bring its Short Course Fundamentals – Quality Assurance for Additive Manufacturing to this year's TCT 3Sixty.
Taking place on June 8th at 9:30-13:30 BST at the NEC, Birmingham, UK, this short course provides a concise overview of the key considerations for how to achieve Quality Assurance in Additive Manufacturing, including a top-level outline of what a Quality Management System could look like to produce components for Critical Applications, and an overview of available inspection methods.
The short course will include an interactive workshop, where the participants will be able to review a typical Quality Assurance challenge, and how you would manage it.
Participants will receive a digital Certificate of Attendance from ASTM International.
Who Should Attend?
The course is aimed at those who wish to gain experience and understanding of how to deliver quality products from Additive Manufacturing. Attendees would be required to have a background in Additive Manufacturing, and a desire to learn more about how to industrialize the methods ready for production.
Who's hosting?
Dr. Ben Dutton is a Technical Specialist at the MTC in the Metrology & NDT group with 17 years’ experience in NDT. He possesses a valuable combination of academic and industrial experience with proven expertise in integrating design and manufacturing functions.
