The UK’sManufacturing Technology Centre(MTC) is where 3D printing and traditional manufacturing converge. Established as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) in 2010, the centre is the product of a collaboration betweenLoughborough University， 这伯明翰大学， 这University of NottinghamandTWI。
The centre’s privileged position in the market and well-cultivated contact list of over 100 industry members, places it in an ideal position for providing well-trained and talented individuals to the industry – a gap that the MTC struck upon in 2016 with the launch of the Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC).
现在，AMTC正在寻找将于今年晚些时候推出的3D打印和添加剂制造技能能力框架的开发贡献。雷电竞充值
In a recent tour of the facility, I spoke to Martin Dury, Learning Design Manager, to learn more about the new, specialist additive, training to be offered at the AMTC.

The aim of the the MTC “is to create end-to-end vocational and apprenticeship programmes to enable a stronger AM industry for the UK.” The programmes will be offered to school-leavers aged 16 – 19, and engineers already in the industry looking to boost their skills.
Doctors and engineers of the MTC, working for members like Rolls-Royce, Airbus, GOM andRenishaw, lead all courses offered by the centre, giving a unique, industry-integrated perspective.
学徒制也可以一直遵循到学位水平，当候选人表现出特定技能的能力时，例如添加剂制造，非破坏性测雷电竞充值试和材料开发的设计。
Taking the bull by the horns
Before additive manufacturing, the MTC has had success developing training programmes foradvanced metrology, intelligent automation and advanced machining – once key skills gaps in industry-wide manufacturing.
“What we did,” explains Dury, “rather than wait for the national standards to catch up, we took the bull by the horns,”
“we got all of our experts over at the MTC to define the knowledge, skills and behaviours that they’d expect of an automation technician.”
由此，Dury和他的团队开发了一个框架，描述了一个人在指定职业中的角色和责任，与国家工程标准相匹配，但在特定的感兴趣领域中过度训练。早期的专业使候选人成为任何希望担任新角色的公司的资产。
How to get involved
为了开发3D打印框架以及Upskill/Train更多的增材制造工程师，AMTC正在寻找整个行业的专业人员的贡献。雷电竞充值Dury评论，
“就在这里，我们可能是英国在添加培训方面的最佳保密秘密。”
“The last thing I want is a real pertinent company saying ‘I wish I’d have know about that, I could’ve really helped steer that or given some rich content’ and I want to avoid that as much as possible.”
Contributions for the MTC’s additive manufacturing skills competencies framework close 31 March 2018. If you have an valuable insights in your industry and the skills desperately needed in additive,联系MTChere.
