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

TEX4.0

       

Erasmus+ Project No. 2023-1-DE02-KA220-VET-000154009

 Enabling Industry 4.0 Skills in Textile SMEs (TEX4.0)

TEX4.0, the project to enable Industry 4.0 Skills in Textile SMEs


The TEX4.0 project aims to provide VET learners, including the current textile workforce and NEETs, with training and upskilling on Textile 4.0 – related technologies, in order to keep up with the rapid technological advances of the sector and to increase their employability opportunities.

This initiative is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union and its main objectives through 24 months of implementation are:

  • To develop a curriculum on Industry 4.0 skills in the Textile sector for VET Trainers.
  • To equip VET trainers, learners and textile stakeholders with the necessary knowledge and tools through an innovative training package on Industry 4.0-related skills.
  • To provide an e-learning format with attractive and dynamic functions where all material will be integrated.
  • To implement engaging training activities using participatory approaches in order to test the results and upskill the target groups

Who can participate?

  • VET learners, i.e., current textile workforce as well as NEETs for whom textile sector is an opportunity to enter the labor market.
  • VET trainers, VET centers, institutes, lifelong learning centers.
  • Textile sector stakeholders including Chambers of Commerce, SME managers/owners, managers of textile sector.
