Description
Additive Manufacturing (3D-printing) offers new possibilities of designing parts and products. But often nobody takes the design rules into account, because there are also design rules available like for casting or milling. Or designers got a basic training and have no idea how to applies these rules. By taking them not into account this will have a big impact in process stability and therefore, on manufacturing coasts. For counteracting to this approach these training deals with the dedicated tools and methods for reaching the full potential of additive manufacturing.
Audience
This training aims on designers and engineers, which would like to reach the full potential of additive manufacturing. However, production engineers are also welcome to attend the seminar, as it will certainly contribute significantly to a better understanding of “customer requirements”.
Benefits
The seminar provides an education in design with a strong focus on additive manufacturing. Participants are given a broad overview of the possibilities and risks involved in the application of 3D printed components and this basic knowledge is transferred to operational processes and problems.

Description
Resource efficiency plays an important key role in sustainable lightweight construction, and OEMs, suppliers and material manufacturers are all in demand. Day by day designers have to handle new challenges for getting parts and components more powerful and more efficient. One possibility for that is, applying lightweight design and functional integration. Within this seminar, the basics of different approaches will be shown and explained for reaching rising requirements in future.
Audience

Description
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (official title: Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast)) has been binding not only since its recast of 29 December 2009. Nevertheless, practice shows that suppliers of machinery and equipment have not always complied with the resulting obligations in recent years. This situation is even more acute in the case of machines and systems that have grown “organically”, so to speak, or that have been built or modified by the operator. In many cases, a completely heterogeneous and incomplete documentation status is apparent here and the validity of existing declarations of conformity can be questioned.
Audience
Manufacturer or operator of machines and plants
Benefits
The participants of the seminar will be able to evaluate the status of machines and plants regarding CE conformity and to carry out the necessary measures to achieve conformity.
Methods
digicon Academy provides a focused, practically and economically oriented knowledge transfer in the form of seminar lectures and field tests on samples. The involved trainers are highly qualified and experienced key players.
Content – Theory & Practice

Description
Mechanical joining technology represents a key technology in modern car body construction, especially in lightweight automotive construction. In order to achieve the specified lightweight construction targets, more and more vehicle manufacturers are relying on a multi-material design in which lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium alloys are used in non-critical zones, while high-strength and press-hardened steels are used in safety-relevant areas. The challenge of using different materials lies in the connection of the joining partners. Due to different material properties, thermal joining processes such as spot or inert-gas welding are often not applicable. However, by means of mechanical joining processes in which the components to be joined are locally plastically deformed (e.g. self-piercing riveting, clinching), these lightweight materials can be joined together, resulting in a number of advantages.
Audience
The seminar is aimed at young engineers or newcomers as well as people with practical experience. Decision-makers in the commercial sector receive a sound technical basis for purchasing or investment decisions.
Benefits
With this seminar we give a comprehensive and practice-oriented overview of the individual topics of mechanical joining and highlight relevant basics as well as the latest trends. You will learn the basics of mechanical joining, in particular of self-pierce riveting, and receive an introduction to the possibilities of joining simulation using the example of self-pierce rivet simulation.
