Industrial 3D printing offers companies immense potential in the development of new applications. Especially for newcomers it is important to build up know-how quickly. However there are so far no comprehensive training programs and only few experts available on the labor market. The Additive Minds Academys mission is to develop innovative learning formats and impart application-oriented knowledge about industrial 3D printing in the shortest possible time. EOS the worlds leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D printing for metals and polymers is thus further expanding its offering in the areas of training and knowledge transfer.Back in 2016 EOS founded the consulting unit Additive Minds which supports companies in tapping the great potential of industrial 3D printing. This consulting offering is now complemented by the digital trainings of the Additive Minds Academy which bundle the many years of experience from consulting and technical training.In addition EOS wants to accelerate the global change towards responsible manufacturing and also put more focus on sustainability in vocational education. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that a rethink must happen when it comes to travel for training purposes. Through blended learning formats online and remote training the Additive Minds Academy is taking a step towards conserving resources and thus reducing not only travel times but also training costs.With our learning paths customers can train powerful teams with all the skills needed in additive manufacturing. The knowledge we offer ranges from basic understanding of the technology to selecting components for AM production as well as design and AM-appropriate engineering to scaling and validating production. For each individual role we develop a corresponding training program.Patrick Schrade Head of Additive Minds Academy at EOSLearning paths enable steep learning curveThe Additive Minds Academy offering includes individual learning modules and comprehensive learning paths that prepare for various roles in additive manufacturing - from machine operator to application specialist to production manager. Customers receive support for onboarding new employees as well as further training for existing employees.The learning paths are designed so that the competence required for a new role in Additive Manufacturing can be built up within only four to six weeks. The courses combine online and self-study with practical learning based on case studies.
