Leuven In Layers: The Art of Additive Manufacturing
Hey! You!
Ready to add an extra layer of knowledge to your summer? This year, we’re diving deeper into the fascinating world of additive manufacturing (AM) with a focus on the processes that bring designs to life. From laser-based techniques to binder jetting, you’ll explore the spectrum of cutting-edge AM processes that make modern innovation possible.
Join us in Leuven between 8th and 17th of July for an unforgettable learning adventure at KU Leuven, which is celebrating its 600th anniversary this year! This course will take you through the complete value chain of AM, covering everything from design for AM and material aspects to quality control and end applications. By gaining insights into each stage, you’ll leave with a holistic understanding of how to bring ideas from concept to reality.
What you’ll learn
Between the 8th and 17th of July, you will learn about Additive Manufacturing (AM), which will also include 3D printing, based on lectures, exercises, practical sessions and lab & company visits from professors and professionals. Find out this July in Leuven!
What you’ll experience
You’ll have the chance to hop on a bike and explore Leuven, a city full of ancient heritage that is taken over by the university and now owned and ruled by students! We will guide you around in our cosy and charming city, learn you how to draft a beer like a real Belgian and take you to a visit in one of our many breweries. Be prepared for our delicious chocolate, amazing waffles and the best fries and taste our many excellent beers at the ‘longest bar in Europe‘!
You can get a sneak peek in the ‘Leuven in motion’ video made by Basel Zorebieda
Even better, given Belgium’s limited dimensions, we’ll have the chance to explore some of the prettiest other cities in the country to give you the full Belgian experience.
What you’ll keep
Friends! If there’s one thing you can be sure of after 9 days of learning together, exploring together and having fun together, it’s that you’ll have a sweet set of friends all over Europe to visit afterwards!
So what are you waiting for, don’t be shy, just apply!
