VOLKER KUNZE
Technology Scout & Expansion Manager
Additive Minds Academy – a Brand of EOS

Volker Kunze from the Additive Minds Academy – a Brand of EOS – will take you onto a tour into the already available Future of Learning, Training & Knowledge.

Starting with Knowledge for those who are "New to AM" the self learning and expert guided individual Learning Path will bring one to its job role within AM.

After you got the Theory in Reality you will be served with the varieties of eXtended Reality (XR) from Virtual (VR) to Augmented Reality (AR) in the Moment of Need. The look into Metaverse will open new ways of Collaboration & Learning to you.

Additive Minds Academy is the first comprehensive training and education provider for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLS®) technologies for the entire Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry.

Together with the EWF (European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting) and other partner the Additive Minds Academy is currently transforming existing Programs into Blended Learning and eXtended Reality supported ones – all in accordance with ISO & ASTM.
