Background

The DEMO OR DIE project aims to promote an Open Access to Online Training in the 3D Printing field by introducing “non-manufacturing” professionals (e.g., Health Professionals) and other potential professionals such as students from both VET and HE to embrace digital technologies such as 3D Printing. This will enable individuals and companies to directly benefit, understand the limitations and anticipate the growing challenges of an emerging technology such as 3D Printing. It will also allow to introduce young professionals to adapt to multi-skilled technology careers in the industry and at the same time being able to support other sectors and health professionals during critical situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other national disasters. These unforeseen situations have strongly emphasized the need to have a much stronger connection between technology providers and health organizations, and to be resilient during these times.
