Unless otherwise noted, all FLOW-3D AM workshops run from 1:00pm – 3:00pm ET (10:00am – 12:00pm PT) over two consecutive days.

Custom dates available – choose ‘Custom workshop’ on the registration form and our workshop instructor will contact you to schedule your workshop.

What will you learn in an Additive Manufacturing Workshop?

• How to set up, run and analyze simulations of additive manufacturing processes such as laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition.
• How to use FLOW-3D AM to analyze the effect of specific parameters on your process design.
• How FLOW-3D POST can be used to create compelling visualizations for in-depth analysis of the melt pool and associated defects.

What will you learn in a Laser Welding Workshop?

• How to set up, run and analyze simulations of laser welding processes such as laser welding in both conduction and keyhole modes, laser beam shaping, and laser cladding.
• How to use FLOW-3D WELD to analyze the effect of specific parameters on your process design.
• How FLOW-3D POST can be used to create compelling visualizations for in-depth analysis of the melt pool and associated defects.

Workshop License

• You will have access to a FLOW-3D license for 30 days following the workshop. During this period, a Flow Science CFD Engineer will work closely with you, providing customized technical support to help you develop CFD models for analysis of your process.
• If you decide to purchase a FLOW-3D license, the workshop fee will be fully credited toward your purchase.

Who should attend?

• These workshops are open to scientists and engineers working in industry research and development of additive manufacturing and laser welding processes.

Registration: Workshop registration is available to prospective users in the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland. Existing users should contact sales@flow3d.com to discuss their licensing options.

Cancellation: Flow Science reserves the right to cancel a workshop at any time, due to reasons such as insufficient registrations or instructor unavailability. In such cases, a full refund will be given, or attendees may opt to transfer their registration to another workshop. Flow Science is not responsible for any costs incurred.

Registrants who are unable to attend a workshop may cancel up to one week in advance to receive a full refund. Attendees must cancel their registration by 5:00 pm MST one week prior to the date of the workshop; after that date, no refunds will be given. If available, an attendee can also request to have their registration transferred to another workshop.

Licensing: Workshop licenses are for evaluation purposes only, and not to be used for any commercial purpose other than evaluation of the capabilities of the software.
