Industrial Additive Manufacturing Hackathon Challenge - Software
Alberta Additive Manufacturing NetworkShow Notes
Are you an engineer wanting to learn about design for additive manufacturing? Can you spend 3-8 hours per week over a 2 month period to learn a new skill?
Register as a participant by JANUARY 10 to:
• Gain exposure to digital tools in design, engineering, AM, etc. (from ideation to testing)
• Develop your understanding around the concept of design for AM
• Receive hands-on experience with the above
• Connect with industry peers and develop collaborative relationships
• Raise your industry profile through a project presentation at SmartMTX May 15-16, 2024
• Potentially develop a relationship with the end-user
• Earn APEGA PD credits
Are you a company wanting to take advantage of additive manufacturing, but don't have the time or resources? Do you have a problem that could be solved with the re-engineering of complex parts with a part count reduction, or by having replacement components fabricated with a faster turnaround to reduce production downtime?
Submit a project by JANUARY 10 to:
• Receive a reduced or potentially free solution development cost
• Support local industry and develop digital skills and AM expertise in local industry
• Better solution / value added vs. traditionally designed / developed / existing solution
• Raise your ESG profile with clients and the public
