Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing (SAM) - Skills Strategy Roadmap 2023

Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing (SAM) (https://www.skills4am.eu/) addressed the common vision and actions to support the growth, innovation and competitiveness of the AM sector. The 2023 Skills Strategy Roadmap presents the updated version of the Sector Skills Strategy for Additive Manufacturing until 2030. Two versions of the Roadmap were published for different periods, 2020 and 2023, in order to reflect the dynamic features of the sector and increasing speed in which AM technologies are evolving. Moreover, the 2023 version includes the monitoring of the actions defined in the first version. 

The Sector Skills Roadmap from 2021 helped steering the implementation of the individual activities that have been identified to mitigate a set of 7 Gap Drivers, as well as monitor their effectiveness in addressing the challenges highlighted in the sector, through the activities that have been planned to tackle these. By updating the roadmap, the SAM consortium is presenting a clear analysis of the path taken in the past two years of activities, particularly on how the Skills Strategy for AM necessarily evolved, adapted and adjusted to the trends in the sector. 

The current Roadmap for 2023 includes an updated version of :

• Skills Strategy Roadmap implementation 
• Strategic objectives and outline of recommendations and possible examples of actions put forward beyond SAM. 
• Summary conclusion about the Strategy
