Join Dyndrite + NC State University for an intensive 2.5 day, hands-on training workshop focused on modern software-driven Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) workflows, advanced toolpath development, process optimization, and AI-assisted additive manufacturing engineering.

This workshop is intended to help universities and research teams better understand the direction modern LPBF production environments are rapidly moving toward — increasingly automated, software-driven, and AI-assisted manufacturing workflows.

UPDATE: Interest in the workshop has exceeded expectations, and NC State has graciously expanded seating capacity to accommodate additional universities and research teams.

We now have additional capacity available and did not want your team to miss the opportunity to participate.

As part of the workshop, Dyndrite will also waive the onboarding and training fee for participating universities.‍
