Upcoming courses in AM

Creating more sustainable products using AM

Why you should attend?
Creating a new product is just not good enough anymore. You have to start thinking about its impact on the environment from the get go. However, choosing the right way to do it is not always easy. That’s why Cradlenet and AMEXCI have decided to partner up and help you make the right choice of when using Additive Manufacturing (AM).  We will share best practices of how to measure, where we stand, and how to use most effectively use AM through the prism of the circular economy.

Objectives:

At the end of course you will:

• Have a basic understanding of some sustainability related concepts like carbon footprint, LCA and circular economy
• Understand the basics of LCA of AM parts: what to keep in mind when you look at such information.
• Have a view on where AM could be applied to contribute towards more sustainable and resilient products.   
• Minimizing environmental impact when designing a part for AM

Agenda:

The training consists of 0,5-day online training followed by 1-day onsite training at AMEXCI’s facility in Örebro.

• Introduction to AMEXCI & Cradlenet

  • AM & sustainability by industry sector
  • Current shortcomings and how they can be improved
• Additive manufacturing and circular economy, where are the sweet spots?
  • Where can AM be useful in terms of circular economy
  • What are the other advantages of AM in terms of creating more sustainable products
• How to design for more sustainable products
  • What are some simple rules when designing for AM to minimize waste and energy usage

Cost

16 000SEK per participant.

In association with the theme of sustainability, you get  1000SEK off the cost per person if travel to Örebro in a more sustainable way (train, bus,  or your own bicycle if you live close by).

When?

For now, we are just taking registrations of interest. Once we have a sufficient number of participants, we will reach out to the people who have preregistered to propose a date. The people who have preregistered will have priority in selecting the desired training dates. Training is probably taking place in the first half of May.
