Abstract

Identified as a core technology in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, additive manufacturing (AM or 3D printing) has seen considerable industry growth, which has created a significant need for a skilled workforce. Furthermore, AM education and professional training are also crucial in the dissemination and widespread adoption of this technology beyond conventional manufacturing barriers. To address this demand, various educational institutions have undertaken different initiatives to incorporate AM components into their interdisciplinary engineering curricula. AM is not just about instrumentation and materials, but also involves design, programming, and validation skills. While most AM training courses focus on general knowledge and hands-on laboratory training, there is a lack of innovation frameworks led by digital design, which is arguably one of the core elements of AM technology. In this review, the authors examine global representative AM training and education programs. Additionally, institutional efforts to address this demand are presented through undergraduate and graduate courses employing problem- and project-based pedagogies to equip students with hands-on AM experiences and digital design-led innovation skills.
