A problem-solving approach to fuel innovation-led growth 

The European Commission, through Carlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, invited Professor Mazzucato to draw up strategic recommendations to maximise the impact of the future EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation through mission-oriented policy. This report is the result of Professor Mazzucato’s reflections based on her research, with inputs through a consultation process with internal and external stakeholders of the European Commission.

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

-which curricula need to be developed and which is needed infrastructure to support skills development

Granta aims to encourage AM data management projects and Standards efforts
Granta Design has released to the Additive Manufacturing (AM) community key details of the Schema, the underlying data structures, behind its AM data management solution. The GRANTA MI:Additive Manufacturing Package is the industry-leading software for managing data within AM development projects. In publishing the Schema information, Granta aims to encourage projects to systematically manage AM data and to support development of Standards.
More information about managing AM data is available on the Granta website: http://www.grantadesign.com/products/mi/am.htm
