Additive manufacturing

The idea, now considered simple and straightforward, by which any object can be built superposing layers of materials (i.e. in an additive way) differs from the traditional manufacturing processes which use material distribution (such as injection molding, casting, rolling, forging, etc.) or material removal (such as drilling, turning, milling, grinding, etc.).

According to ISO/ASTM 52900:2015 standard, Additive Manufacturing (AM) represents

Augmented Reality

During the last years, researchers and engineers have been using information technology, personal computers, tablets and even smart phones in order to take images out of TV sets and computer screens and integrate them into real life environments. Such technology, the Augmented Reality as it was called, makes the line between real life and computer generated reality disappear and augments

Industry 4.0 concepts

There is no definition of Industry 4.0 internationally accepted so far.

The concept of Industry 4.0 joins technological achievements from recent years with a vision of future intelligent and automated production systems, in which a real world is connected with a virtual one, ensuring more efficient use of available information. Industry 4.0 brings the physical and virtual worlds together to fundamentally change how products are made.

Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution. The term "Industry 4.0" originates from a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. General definition: „Industry 4.0 is a name for

  • IO4 Research Report on additive manufacturing for the future. This is an original and comprehensive research report on the future of Additive Manufacturing, which is considered one of the founding pillars of Digital Manufacturing for Industry 4.0
  • IO5 Case studies on Industry 4.0: This is a set of case-studies demonstrating the use of IND4.0 elements. The case-studies can be used by HEI trainers, aimed at knowledge transfer taking place in first cycle of degree studies (i.e. Bachelor). However, IO5 can be also used for short training courses explicitly aimed at SME level, to help raise awareness and knowledge on global digital manufacturing sector; the case studies are all available on the MAGIC OER platform
  • IO6 OER Platform for the Modular course on ‘Industry 4.0 for Global Digital Manufacturing’. IO6 is an Open Education Resource (OER) developed explicitly for MAGIC’s joint modular course on Industry 4.0 for Global Manufacturing. It is aimed for a range of target audiences including HEI trainers and students of first cycle of studies (Bachelor). In addition, the OER is explicitly intended to provide MAGIC courseware in open format to make it easy to be exploited by stakeholders within SMEs and other industrial entities, this intended to help raise awareness and knowledge on the importance of global digital manufacturing sector.
