Design Consulting for Additive Production

Are you an experienced product designer? Are you familiar with the technological and business advantages of Additive Manufacturing? Are you currently working on a specific project or component?

Whether you need hands-on support for an undertaking or are looking to establish a new approach that combines artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing for mass customization, our program offers effective and efficient solutions to the challenges you face.

What to Expect

In the program 'Design Consulting for Additive Production,' we collect your requirements for your product or process online a few weeks before the appointment. During the on-site meeting, we will discuss various approaches and refine a concept, which we will present to you a few weeks after the consulting session for further discussion.

Our approach enables the efficient and effective development of solutions tailored to your requirements. Depending on the nature and maturity of your task, the consulting can flexibly take the form of either a general brainstorming session or the resolution of specific technical questions. Following the design consulting, we are pleased to develop a concrete solution as part of a project assignment.

Target Audience

The program targets mechanical engineers, designers, product engineers, and business developers who are seeking innovative and highly efficient solutions in new product development. By leveraging additive manufacturing, participants can create unique selling propositions that set them apart in the market.

You may book the Design Consulting for Additive Production program for a team from a single company or choose to join and share your challenges with participants from other organizations.
