Project Description

The proposed skill enhancement training module will address and fill the gap as follows: 1. The list of topics of the proposed training program will be finalized by organizing a brain storming session with various industries and comparing to needs of industry and identify the gaps in current programs available. 2. Shifting of focus and usage of new tools for AM to design the various products related to Transport, Energy and Health Care Applications will be emphasized through the training. 3. Further, new levels of performance will be achieved through AM with innovative solutions based on new design thinking with a special focus on functionality, performance, quality. 4. New design approaches, guidelines on design for the environment and limited availability of AM materials, resource scarcity for rare metals, design for modularity, upgradability, disassembly, recycling and modelling software on AM such as 3D scanning will be effectively taught. 5. Effective risk assessment to stay cognizant of the hazards present in the plant, safety measures & training needed and shed light on the necessary equipment maintenance and repairs will be focused. 6. Industry mentoring schemes, industrial internships, industrial visits, more hands-on training, and access of open-source learning material will also be focused.
