1) Report on Validation Needs Analysis:
Industry is constantly lacking skilled additive manufacturing
professionals, specifically to
carry out PBF-LB process. To tackle this issue education must be continuously improved
and
evolve in this new digital era. The use of AR and VR technologies in the Additive
Manufacturing field is foreseen as a new trend in the sector.
The fact that some of the
training can be delivered via these innovative digital technologies, highly impacts VET
providers training in the field.
This project result includes a detailed desk research in the field of VR and AR,
assessing
their implementation in PBF-LB Operators training.
The research includes the implementation of a survey to industry stakeholders and
training
providers to assess the needs associated to the delivery of the Metal AM Operator for
PBF-LB
qualification remotely by using AR and VR training environments.

2) Development of materials to deliver PBF-LB Operator Theoretical:
The focus of this Project Result (PR) is on the development of
theoretical training
materials for PBF-LB Operators. Aerospace industry has strict requirements within the
sector
specific standards regarding all aspects that can influence the quality of the parts
delivered, being one of which, training and qualification of all the personnel involved
within the process. The existing International IAMQS PBF-LB Operator curriculum tackles
the
relevant topic in Aerospace sector. Although the qualification guidelines cope with
Aerospace industry requisites, it is necessary that the training materials are also
aligned
with these sector very specific needs.
In this PR we can find innovative training materials developed and adapted to also be
used
in case on remote online learning is needed. This PR target groups include industrial
companies, AM machine manufacturers, IAMQS network of training centres and VET providers
working in the AM field, more precisely PBF-LB.

3) Development of VR/AR tools to deliver PBF-LB Operator Practical:
Project Result (PR) 3 englobes the development of innovative AR and
VR tools for
practical
training of AM PBF-LB Operators. AM Operators training must evolve through the new
digital
era to cope with the adversities found by covid 19 and the high-quality standards
required
in the Aerospace sector.
The AR and VR tools, for the parts of the curriculum of AM PBF-LB Operators, identified
in
AREOLA’s PR1 as possible to be deployed on an online virtual environment, are developed
in
this PR3.
The result consists of designing and implementing of real-life Additive Manufacturing
case
studies in an AM VR and AR software for the main practical activities identified for the
selected professional profile.

4) Comparison between the different learning and teaching strategies:
Project Result (PR) 4 comprehends a comparison between different
teaching and training strategies used in AREOLA’s project. Training activities in
industrial sectors must evolve towards a new digital era. The analysis conducted in this
PR will pave the way for future European training to be delivered with the use of more
evolved digital resources and conducted remotely.
A Research Study with the results from the pilot courses, on which these strategies are
implemented, conduct the courses, and enables to validate the practical training to be
delivered through AR/VR and/or on-site training, as well as the skills to be addressed
by each training approach. This PR allows to assess to which extent can AR/VR tools be
used in the delivery of PBF-LB training Qualification.

5) Blended Learning Guideline for implementation:
The Project Result (PR) 5 focus on the update of the International
Metal AM PBF-LB
Operator
Guidelines. Additive manufacturing industry is constantly evolving and there is the need
to
keep updating AM Operators curriculum with the latest technological developments and
innovative teaching pathways.
The work in this PR will allow future European training in AM to be delivered with
innovative blended learning methodologies.
