CIMP-3D is pleased to offer our intensive 3-day hands-on practicum for industry on additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials at Penn State.
When: June 23–25, 2026
Where: Bluford Building, State College, PA
What: 3 days of hands-on metal AM practicum
Who: Professionals interested in Industrial Metal AM
Cost: $3,500
The practicum will feature speakers each morning, and afternoon demos coupled with hands-on experiences using industrial AM technologies, such as: design tools; AM systems; material characterization & mechanical testing equipment.
Participants will become familiar with all aspects of engineered AM components, including metallic material systems, design and optimization tools for AM, AM process modeling and simulation, process monitoring and sensing, and inspection and qualification techniques for additive manufacturing of metallic materials.
