SHAKEAM - Design for Material Extrusion

ShakeAM (Learning by SHAring Knowledge in dEsign for AM) project addresses the need to increase the capacity and readiness of Higher Education (HE) institutions to manage an effective shift towards digital technologies for a systematic approach regarding the training delivery and acquisition of digital skills and competencies on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) by HE students and designer professionals (AM and non-AM experienced).ShakeAM project foresees addressing theoretical and practical components using an innovative Ecosystem & Best Practices Database. These tools will contain examples and real-life scenarios in DfAM to support students understanding of the contents discussed. Using a unique and virtual transnational learning environment for collaborative and progressive work on DfAM, students will improve engagement in the learning process and learning outcomes.

At the same time, this innovative Ecosystem can encourage students to be independent learners, giving them tools to become engaged in a dynamic lifelong learning system. The innovation through best practices learning environments with shared experiences and contributions of experts in the DfAM field of work and peer learning activities will stimulate the learning process.
