SAM project is a Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing which has similar objectives with this initiative SAM project is a Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing which aims to tackle the current European need for developing an effective system to identify and anticipate the right skills for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) sector demands in response to the increasing labour market needs, thus, contributing for the smart, sustainable and inclusive growth of the AM sector in line with the SAMANTHA… Read More »The SAMANTHA project allies with another Erasmus+ project in the field of Additive Manufacturing

The use of 3D printing for tooling and production primarily benefits humans, either directly through medical and consumer applications, or indirectly by improving systems and processes that humans use. But 3D printing is also benefiting animals in a variety of ways, some of which may come to bear on how it will help humans in the future. I discussed five instances of additive manufacturing’s overlap with animals (pets and otherwise) in this week’s episode of the AM Radio podcast. Learn… Read More »Lessons from Animals and Additive Manufacturing

The e-learning pilot courses of the SAMANTHA project aims to proof the validity of the training course that the partners have developed during these two years of activity. Within this training activity a special task will be played by the Mentors, a peculiar figure that will support the learners in their activities focused to deepen the several aspects of Additive Manufacturing and the transversal skills. Partners will involve 16 senior experts in order to create open debates and the acquisition… Read More »SENIOR TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE THANKS TO THE MENTORS
