About the Course

The Additive Manufacturing (AM) Safety eLearning course provides knowledge on the general elements needed when setting up a facility for AM and the safety issues to be considered during the life of the AM processes. This course covers different regulatory standards and codes applicable to AM and guidance on how these standards apply to your facility. The course also identifies the most relevant standards and how they are specifically applied to preserving the safety and wellbeing of employees using additive manufacturing technologies. Learn where to implement many of the safety elements and best practices that need to be considered when; 1) establishing your AM facility, 2) handling AM materials, 3) performing post-processing, and 4) responding in an emergency situation.

The course takes approximately 6 hours to complete and includes instructional video lecture content, interactive knowledge checks, and an exam.
