Additive Minds Academy to soon offer additive manufacturing courses and workshops
EOS, the global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions, has expanded its consulting and knowledge transfer portfolio of services under the name ‘Additive Minds’. Based on three pillars of consulting, the innovation centre and the Additive Minds Academy, the EOS team of experts will directly upskill customer staff to help more companies benefit from additive manufacturing technology. They enable an even steeper learning curve for customers with respect to AM technology and genuine competitive benefits.
Güngör Kara, Director Global Application and Consulting, EOS said, “Our Additive Minds services cover the customer’s complete lifecycle, from additive manufacturing fundamentals and the choice of correct component or application, to the engineering process and development of the application, right down to planning the industrial production, qualification and validation.”
Kara added, “The huge innovation potential of this technology makes a key contribution to the current and future transformation process in industrial manufacturing. Based on our technology and extended consulting and training offers, customers can achieve the next level of innovation sooner.”
As a catalyst in development projects, advisors for strategic questions or technological experts, the Additive Manufacturing Consultants address each customer’s individual requirements. The range of topics on offer covers the complete cycle: from technology fundamentals, component choice for AM production, design and AM-compatible engineering, to production scaling and validation.
With its Additive Minds innovation centre, EOS extends its range of services in the field of counselling and creates a central hub of innovation. Companies can send a team of engineers and technicians to EOS with experts from Additive Minds overseeing their education and development for 6-18 months, with the potential to develop new applications through to a production stage. At the end of this phase, the team can begin production in their own company immediately, thus gaining a huge time advantage over their own competition. A ‘Center of Excellence’ model, deployed on the customer’s premises, is also available.
The Additive Minds Academy will soon offer an additive manufacturing courses and workshops. EOS has also developed its own training programme in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton and the SRH Hochschule Berlin. Participants can qualify as an ‘AM Application Engineer’ within six months through intensive learning modules and practical exercises. The first participants will begin their course in February 2017.
