Overview

Additive manufacturing technology acquires significance in the manufacturing industry for enabling product making as end to end solutions without any design boundaries for both manufacturing and assembly. It allows engineers to accomplish more than what they would through traditional manufacturing techniques. Hence many stakeholders in manufacturing industry are increasingly incorporating additive manufacturing technology in their low volume production.

3D printing technology penetrates new horizons, industries are confronted with the primary challenge of employing skilled workforce to use this technology. There is a dearth in finding skilled technicians/engineers having the knowhow of additive manufacturing.

IMTMA, to plug the gaps, considering the roles they are supposed to play in the additive manufacturing industry, has embarked upon training the engineers by handholding them through actual workshop processes on Additive Manufacturing
