EOS, the global technology leader for industrial 3D printing of metals and polymers, has announced a first of its kind 3D Printing training course, collaborating with two leading universities in the UK and Germany.

For this six month ‘Additive Manufacturing Application Engineer' program, EOS will work directly with the University of Wolverhampton, a long standing partner of EOS with an existing high-level metal AM expertise especially in automotive, Formula 1 and aerospace and SRH Hochschule Berlin, one of the leading private universities in Germany, specializing in international business administration and management.

"One of the major barriers for metal Additive Manufacturing technology is the shortage of AM application engineering experts at a global level. The program aims to empower the future generation of AM engineers through specialized training and expertise." comments Güngör Kara, Director Global Application & Consulting at EOS.

And he adds: "With this initiative, we also want our customers to turn this AM knowledge into a competitive advantage. They will save time and money, as well as boosting their business productivity with industrial 3D printing."

The first participants will start their expert training program in May 2017, with a maximum number of eight participants per course. More information about this program can be found here.
