Knowledge transfer

In addition to intensive research and development, new technologies also require well-founded training and continuing education for specialists and managers. Fraunhofer IFAM offers training courses in various areas. Participants with different levels of qualification are provided with the latest research results and up-to-date knowledge from practice. In addition, our experts provide insights into their research work. The central goal of all continuing education formats is the applicability of the learning content beyond theoretical knowledge. Here you will find a selection of our continuing education courses in the field of metallurgical manufacturing processes.

Advanced training "Additive Manufacturing"

Additive manufacturing processes can be used to produce components from powders in virtually any shape, even highly complex ones. Fraunhofer IFAM offers a comprehensive portfolio of nine additive manufacturing processes for metal—from beam-based technologies such as laser beam melting (PBF-LB/M) and electron beam melting (PBF-EB/M) to sinter-based approaches such as metal binder jetting (MBJ), mold jet (MJ), 3D screen printing, lithography-based metal printing (LMM), gel casting, cold metal fusion (CMF), and fused filament fabrication (FFF).

At Fraunhofer IFAM, specialists and managers will find a variety of formats for learning about trends and technologies in the field of “additive manufacturing” or deepening their existing knowledge. For example, the IHK certificate course “Industrial Specialist for Additive Manufacturing (Design Engineer)” offered by Fraunhofer IFAM provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth technical knowledge in the field of additive manufacturing. Our experts impart intensive knowledge about the current possibilities of additive manufacturing from a holistic, practice-oriented, and manufacturer-independent perspective. Fraunhofer IFAM has extensive expertise in beam-based and sinter-based additive manufacturing. In addition, the knowledge can be imparted in an industry- and practice-oriented manner using existing plant technology.

Individually designed seminars for companies are also available on request.

In addition, the “Sinter-based Additive Manufacturing” workshop takes place every two years. If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact us!

Advanced training "Functional Printing"

Functionally integrated components are finding their way into more and more industries. Additive manufacturing processes or functional printing not only enable high functional density, but also customer-specific product individualization. In addition to intensive research and development, new technologies also require well-founded training and further education of specialists.

Fraunhofer IFAM offers different formats for this, tailored to different target groups and their contents: Our face-to-face seminars offer practical training and insights into our research laboratories in Bremen. In the webinar series "Functional Printing" we provide insights into current issues of functional integration using various printing technologies. The annual network meeting "Workshop Functional Printing" presents current results from research and the user perspective. If required, we are also happy to design individual seminars.
