EPMA announces DesignforPM e-learning course

An European Powder Metallurgy Association product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 10, 2008

The European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) has unveiled DesignforPM, an e-learning course aimed mainly at industrial designers and engineers.

The course consists of a series of compact modules aimed at increasing the knowledge of designers and engineers from across the industry who are interested in specifying powder metallurgy (PM) products.

The outcome of a two-year project, DesignforPM will help them to design superior components/products, manufactured using the (PM) production process.

The main target sectors are the automotive, construction and light engineering industries.

Four training organisations in France, Slovakia, Spain and the UK will deliver the package as part of their existing portfolios.

A further use of the data held in DesignforPM is that some content will be incorporated by universities into their courses, with the objective of educating the designers and engineers of the future.

The EPMA has led the EUR500,000 project that forms a key part of the Association's ongoing promotional strategy on behalf of the PM industry.

74 per cent of the cost is being contributed by the EU's Leonardo da Vinci vocational training programme, with the balance provided by the EPMA and the European PM industry partners.
