AILEEN Courses on Metrology, Certification, and Standards are conducted in Spain

In February, Sicnova hosted two intensive AILEEN pilot courses in Jaén, Spain, delivering specialized expertise in 3D metrology and aerospace certification.

Designed for a dynamic mix of local industry professionals and academic researchers, the two complementary sessions combined robust theoretical frameworks with practical, industry-focused application.

Metrology in Action: Hands-On 3D Scanning and Quality Verification:
On February 25, 2026, a full-day (8-hour) face-to-face pilot course focused on Metrology in Additive Manufacturing for Metals and Polymers (CU AI_02). Attended by 11 participants, the training covered essential dimensional inspection strategies, quality assurance methods, and defect analysis.

The highlight of the course was its highly practical approach. Attendees gained direct experience operating cutting-edge 3D scanning equipment and applied precise measurement workflows to real-world industrial case studies. Participants praised the session's practical focus and immediate applicability to modern quality control environments.

Aerospace & Defence Standards: Navigating Qualification and Certification:
Following the metrology session, Sicnova hosted the pilot course on Qualification, Certification, and Standards for AM in Aerospace & Defence (CU AAM_01) on February 26, 2026. Delivered in an 8-hour blended format (combining online instruction with face-to-face workshops), the course engaged participants with a strong baseline knowledge of advanced manufacturing concepts.

The curriculum delivered a comprehensive overview of AM fundamentals, quality systems, rigorous inspection protocols, and European standardization pathways tailored specifically for high-value aerospace and defense applications. Participants commended the course for bridging complex regulatory requirements with practical industrial strategy, citing its significant learning impact.
