Realising the real needs of the sector before preparing a curriculum that integrates sustainability skills was the first concern of the SingforGreen partnership. This task culminated in the organisation of a Focus Group, an event that made it possible to share the journey made and support future choices.   The Focus Group meeting with experts from the university sector, research centers, and industry included an ambitious agenda covering a detailed presentation of the results achieved and an engaging discussion.    🔍 Here are some key takeaways:  ▪️ Sustainable Product Development: Debated the role of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in sustainable product development, with a focus on context-specific applications. Also, discussed balancing production aspects with sustainable practices for economic benefits.  ▪️ Barriers/Challenges: Highlighted the need for comprehensive lifecycle information and better material recyclability.  ▪️ Training Topics and Methods: Covered components not typically printed, functionality, material selection, and compliance with technical standards and regulations.    Emphasis on "hands-on" learning, software interaction, and online training tailored to topic complexity.    💡Conclusion:  The discussions underscored the multifaceted considerations in integrating sustainability into AM training. Key areas included overcoming barriers, aligning training with industry needs, and selecting effective training methods.    This Focus Group provided valuable insights into the complexities and opportunities in sustainable AM practices and training initiatives. We're excited to continue exploring these themes and advancing our sustainability goals!   #Sustainability #AdditiveManufacturing #Training #Innovation #FocusGroup #SustainableDevelopment
