The Stichting World Alliance for Microcredentials Foundation is based in the Netherlands and it works to innovate education and training systems by promoting the adoption of standards and best practices for microcredentials, to imp﻿rove lifelong learning and employment opportunities.

World Alliance for Microcredentials

Explain the strategic importance of Additive Manufacturing in aerospace lightweighting and apply strict workshop OHS protocols when handling reactive metal powders and high-performance polymers. 

Introduction AM, Strategic Role & OHS Safety

Compare core aerospace AM technologies (PBF and DED) and select appropriate aerospace-grade alloys (e.g., Titanium, Inconel) or polymers (e.g., PEEK) based on component requirements. 

Aerospace AM Technologies and Material Selection

Configure digital slicing parameters (orientation, layer thickness, infill) and design optimal support structures to prevent warping and thermal distortions.

Digital Build Preparation and Slicing Parameters

Select and plan suitable part separation methods from the build plate (manual sawing vs. Wire EDM) and perform mechanical support removal and powder cleaning. 

Mechanical Post-Processing and Part Separation

Determine proper stress relief heat treatment cycles to eliminate residual internal stresses and apply advanced surface finishing techniques (bead blasting, chemical vapor smoothing).

Stress Relief Heat Treatment and Surface Finishing

Aligned with EQF Level 5, this online microcredential equips learners with essential skills in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, materials, and production processes. Focused on advancing the aerospace sector's green and digital transition, the course covers key aspects of design, workshop safety, digital build preparation, and post-processing. By gaining practical, industry-relevant knowledge, participants enhance their employability and drive innovation in modern manufacturing.

A comprehensive online training path designed to guide learners through key 3D printing technologies, slicing parameters, thermal treatments, and surface finishing techniques for the aerospace industry.
