Das vielfältige Potenzial der additiven Fertigung (3D-Druck), ermöglicht grosse Designfreiheit, kosteneffiziente und zeitoptimierte Fertigung für kleine und mittlere Stückzahlen sowie die Möglichkeit zur Individualisierung in allen Branchen der fertigenden Industrie.

Unsere Experten von der ZHAW Plattform Additive Manufacturing stehen Ihnen zur Seite, um Ihre neuen Produkt-, Fertigungs- und Prozessideen im Bereich der Additiven Fertigung erfolgreich von der Idee bis zum Produkt umzusetzen.

Additive Fertigungsverfahren, engl. Additive Manufacturing (AM), erschliessen neue Geschäftsfelder, ermöglichen hoch komplexe Produkte, lösen bisher ungelöste Fertigungsprobleme und verändern Wertschöpfungsketten.

Diese Schlüsseltechnologie eröffnet bei Unternehmen und ihren Kunden neue Denkweisen, Lösungsansätze und Anwendungen.

Die ZHAW bietet seit über 10 Jahren Weiterbildungskurse und als erste Hochschule in der Schweiz ein Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) zum Thema Additive Fertigung (3D-Druck) an. Detailinformationen und Anmeldung:
