This report provides an overview of the results obtained with the follow-up to the participants involved in the 2 nd stage of SAM piloting activities, six months after the training occurred. These activities cover the implementation of revised training guidelines for the IAMQS (International Additive Manufacturing Qualification System), including its Quality Assurance System integrated in the piloting of the methodology for creating professional profiles and skills.
The SAM piloting courses, conducted under WP5 (5.4 Piloting events of the 2 nd Stage Real Case Scenarios), addressed the implementation of the following Competence Units (CUs)/Units of Learning Outcomes (ULOs): Certification, Qualification and Standardisation (CU63), Business for Additive Manufacturing (CU64), Overview on polymer materials and properties (CU65), Designing Polymers AM Parts (CU66), Post Processing for Polymers (CU67), Design for Material Extrusion (MEX) (CU68), Design for Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) Polymer (CU69), and Design for VAT Photopolymerization (CU70). In total, eight CUs were implemented from June to July 2021.
The implementation of the 2 nd Stage Real Case Scenarios counted with 292 participants, from which 271 students were assessed, with a 77% of the participants successfully approved.
