AM Training: Why Active & Team-based Learning is a Must!
Additive Manufacturing (AM) creates a new world of manufacturing opportunities, and people are the driving force for adoption. With a myriad of different types of face to face AM events available (e.g. conferences, seminars, training), these questions are very relevant as industry seeks the knowledge to advance AM adoption:
What event(s) should I attend to gain the knowledge I need to adopt AM?
How important is the training format for retaining and applying knowledge?
What Ticks the AM Training Box?
A solid training event requires a knowledge assessment at the conclusion; therefore, seminars and conferences do not tick the box. They have a place for knowledge sharing and networking, but it is important to make the distinction between those and true AM training.
