Multiplier Event at LMS & MA
On April 20-21, 2024, the ShakeAM project held a dynamic seminar in Greece, hosted within the Athens Science Fair, an event celebrating science, technology, and innovation. Organized by local partners LMS and Make Amazing, the seminar drew over 350 visitors to its booth and provided hands-on exposure to the project’s initiatives in Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM).
Day 1 of the seminar featured a ShakeAM project booth showcasing live demonstrations of
MEX 3D printing, sample parts, and educational materials. Visitors engaged with the
project’s offerings and were introduced to a range of educational opportunities within
additive manufacturing.
Day 2 included a focused two-hour workshop on AI-driven design for additive
manufacturing. With 27 participants, the workshop explored ShakeAM project results,
learning exercises, and practical applications, such as a drone frame design
demonstration. The hands-on format and detailed Q&A session were well-received, with
half of the participants signing up for the upcoming ShakeAM pilot programs in May.
Feedback from participants praised the workshop’s informative structure, engaging
speakers, and accessible explanations. Attendees expressed strong interest in further
ShakeAM activities, especially the online learning platform and Best Practice Database.
Suggestions for future events included expanding the space to accommodate more attendees
and extending the workshop duration to explore topics in more depth.
The ShakeAM seminar successfully highlighted the project's impact on advancing skills in
additive manufacturing and fostering community engagement, setting the stage for ongoing
educational initiatives in Greece.
