AMable , AM-Motion , ADMIRE and CLLAIM projects have joined forces to address Additive Manufacturing challenges at European level and would like to invite the AM community to an AM workshop on data and skills in Aachen.

 The one day session will address the following topics:

•  Extension of file formats (AMable)

-which are the most important AM requirements for file formats and digital storage

-which file formats are most promising with respect to user acceptance and extensibility

• Connectivity of AM machines (AMable)

-which connections do AM machines need to connect to industrial shop floor environments

-which protocols need to be implemented to integrate AM machines into production environments

• Skills and Education for AM processes (AM-Motion, ADMIRE and CLLAIM)

-which results from the AM Motion surveys can be used to drive future skills development

-which level of education needs to be addressed today to avoid shortages in skilled personnel in the near future
