Rapid manufacturing experience in training

Abstract

Rapid Manufacturing (RM) is considered as a set of innovative manufacturing technologies, many of which are in continuous development phases, and are becoming increasingly important to develop new products with high added value. Procesos de Fabricación research group, at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) is a founding member of the Spanish Rapid Manufacturing Association (ASERM), and has over ten years of expertise in research, transfer and training activities in these new technologies. ASERM, marked among its strategic objectives to promote and support RM training. As a result of this, the association participates in the European Project named Knowledge Transfer of Rapid Manufacturing (KTRM). Ingeniería de Fabricación educational innovation group (GIEIF) from ULPGC is working along other partners in this project and other training activities, because of the knowledge gained in these technologies.
