Target Group: Customers of DED 3D Printers
Learning Objectives: The audience can understand the working principles of DED in an industrial 3D printer.
Overview
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a revolutionary additive manufacturing technique that enables the precise deposition of metals, alloys, or composites to create complex three-dimensional structures. By using a focused energy source, such as a laser or electron beam, DED allows for precise material placement, making it ideal for repair, rapid prototyping, and the production of large-scale components. This online course covers its working principle and related industry applications.

Design Process
To enhance the learning experience, the online course includes an interactive simulation that enables learners to immerse themselves in the process of DED. Participants can manipulate the powder feeds and laser beam, gaining hands-on experience and observing the material deposition in real-time.
Moreover, a virtual lecturer is the other important element in the online course. The virtual lecturer will walk you through the simulation, explaining each step and highlighting key concepts along the way. The guidance ensures that you gain a comprehensive understanding of the DED process and its practical implications. In addition to guiding you through the simulation, the virtual lecturer will provide supplementary information about the applications of DED in various industries. They will share real-world examples, case studies, and industry-specific insights, giving you a broader perspective on how DED is transforming manufacturing across different sectors.
Please scroll through the following screenshots and GIFs to have first ideas about the simulation and the role of the virtual lecturer.
