IIT Madras offers online certificate program in additive manufacturing technologies, JEE or GATE score not required
This course is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of pre- and post-processing methodologies, design strategy for additive manufacturing and operational principles of additive manufacturing processes.
Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has launched an online certificate program in ‘Additive Manufacturing Technologies for Practising Engineers’ through its Center for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE). The last date to register is September 20, as per an official release.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is emerging as an attractive process to produce various engineering and biomedical components. There is a huge potential for the use of AM in various engineering and biomedical applications, as per IIT-Madras. The release further states that AM has already emerged as a viable, cost-effective and net-shape manufacturing process for low volume production of complex body implants with specific custom-made designs.
Eligibility: Those having a bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Applied Sciences or Basic Sciences with at least 3 years of working experience are eligible to apply.
Dr Murugaiyan Amirthalingam, Associate Professor, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT Madras, said: “This course is aimed at the practising engineers and middle level managers who have not undergone classroom teaching on additive manufacturing. This course is aimed to provide both fundamentals and applied knowledge of additive manufacturing technologies. Those who want to implement various AM technologies in their workplace, can get benefited from this course.”
This course is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of pre- and post-processing methodologies, design strategy for additive manufacturing and operational principles of additive manufacturing processes. Practising engineers can learn about the fundamental principles that govern various additive manufacturing methodologies and how the developed knowledge is applied in service to improve the commercial applicability of available additive manufacturing technologies.
Upon completion of this course, learners can start their careers in the area of additive manufacturing.
