SingforGreen

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 

Exciting Update from the SingforGreen Project!  Our journey towards sustainability continues as the SingforGreen project recently held a productive training workshop. This time, the spotlight was on the Learning Outcomes methodology, with insightful contributions from Brunel University London and European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF). 💻Throughout the workshop, our partners learned about the specifications of training programmes using this methodology, enhancing our collective understanding and approach. The session ended in a hands-on practical exercise, where participants actively engaged in writing learning outcomes and reflecting on the essential knowledge and skills needed for a more sustainable curriculum in design for additive manufacturing. We are thrilled to see such enthusiasm and collaboration within our partnership, driving us closer to our shared goals. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to forge a greener future together! 🌱✨    #SINGforGREEN #Sustainability #AdditiveManufacturing #LearningOutcomes #TrainingWorkshop #Collaboration #GreenFuture #BrunelUniversity #EWF #SustainableDesign 

As May comes to an end, we're excited to share the progress of our partnership project aimed at integrating Sustainability competencies into the Design for Additive Manufacturing (AM) curriculum. 🌿   During May, our team has been working to advance this initiative, focusing on the crucial integration of sustainability into our educational framework.   🔹 A significant milestone was the Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) held at FAN3D's facilities. This productive gathering allowed us to conclude the identification of needs and significantly contribute to the preparation of guidelines for our upcoming Focus Group.   🔜 Mark your calendars for 20 June! We will be hosting a Focus Group that includes experts in sustainability, AM, and design, from both industry and education sectors. This event promises to be an enriching experience as we collaborate to shape the future of sustainable design in AM.   June is set to be a month filled with exciting updates and developments. Stay tuned for more news as we continue to push forward with SingforGreen project! #Sustainability #AdditiveManufacturing #GreenDesign #Education #Innovation #Partnership #FocusGroup

The SingforGreen project is dedicated to shaping a greener future through education and innovation. In today's fast-evolving world, sustainability isn't just a trend—it's a necessity. That's why SingforGreen is on a mission to bridge the gap in additive manufacturing design education by integrating essential 'green skills' into training programs.🌿 🌱 What is SingforGreen? SingforGreen is an Erasmus project designed to develop a specialized curriculum tailored to the needs of companies striving for sustainable practices within additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. By addressing real-world skills gaps and providing Open Educational Resources, we're preparing for a more sustainable approach to AM design. 🚀 Our Vision: At SingforGreen, we believe that education is key to driving meaningful change. By equipping designers with the knowledge and skills to create eco-friendly products, we're not just shaping industries—we're shaping the future. Together, we can revolutionize the way we design, manufacture, and consume, leading in a new era of sustainability. 📅 What's Next? Our journey has just begun! Today, we're excited to share updates on our progress, including ongoing desk research and interviews with industry and higher education partners. Stay updated as we continue to collaborate and innovate towards a greener tomorrow. 👉 Join us in our mission to make a difference. Together, let's SingforGreen! 🌍💚 #SINGforGREEN #Sustainability #Education #Innovation #AdditiveManufacturing #ErasmusPlus #GreenSkills #FutureOfWork
