2 ABOUT European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting Welding Institutes of the European Community 1992 Harmonised Training Qualification & Certification System in Welding Technology The European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting, was created in 1992 by all the welding institutes of the European Community with the aim of updating and harmonising training and qualification in the field of welding technology.

3 COMMUNITY: IN 2017: EWF 28 European Countries IIW 18 Non European Countries TOTAL : 46 Countries

4 EWF AREAS OF ACTIVITY Training Personnel in Welding, Joining & Cutting Qualification of Personnel in Welding, Joining & Cutting Certification of Personnel Certification of Companies Collaboration Projects Technical Information Technical Products

5 EWF SYSTEMS: Harmonised Qualification System: from project management to workshop level used in 46 countries referred in CEN and ISO Standards based in training guidelines based in harmonised examination database Success driven by recognition of quality of the system by stakeholders Quality Quality Assurance System based on: Rules/Requirements for Authorised Nominated Bodies (ANBs) Rules/Requirements for Authorised Training Bodies (ATBs) Harmonised Assessors Training and Peer Review Experience to be benchmarked to other professions. Experience Benchmark 25 Years of experience in international qualification of personnel for the manufacturing industries

9 5 TRAITS YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN A WELDER 1. Mathematical Skills 2. Attention to Detail 3. Physical Abilities 4. Fortitude 5. Administrative Tasks Welders should be able to: clamp broken metal pieces together and melt and apply solder along adjoining edges of work pieces. monitor the quality of welds and components, repair leaks, select and use grinders and other metal finishers. set up fixtures and machine tools and test coils for air leaks.

13 5 TRAITS YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR A WELDING ROBOT OPERATOR 1. Experience He/ She would know that the correct welding sequence ensures integrity of material, realize the upstream processes can possibly affect welding, and quickly define out-of-spec welds with his/ her quick glance at the final point. 2. Ownership Hire workers that feel responsible for the machine they operate 3. Initiative Willingness of a worker to step forward for quality is more important with complex welding positions. The operator for robotized TIG welding has to maintain tungsten electrode, ensure appropriate wire guide positioning, and verify the parts sit in the fixtures as designed. 4. A 3-D mindset It will be great if a welding operator has a 3-D visualization. He/ She can see how a robotic arm moves around a work-piece, and figure the best way to attack the hard-to-reach area 5. Familiarity with computers Experience and familiarity with computers help a welder transition to the role of robotic welding cell operator. Those skills allow an operator to jump into all the benefits which advanced control software has to offer.

15 CREATE AN INTERNATIONAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING QUALIFICATION SYSTEM Why an International Additive Manufacturing Qualification System?

16 EWF DEVELOPING THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING EDUCATION SYSTEM INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATIONS TRAINING CENTERS INDUSTRY UNIVERSITIES RESEARCH ORGANISATION S

17 EWF ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Education & Training Manufacturing industry Connecting Education with Industry Developing qualifications and guidelines Creating alliances Industry needs Skills requirements RTD Activities

18 EWF RESULTS FROM THE INITIAL SURVEY 150 answers

19 EWF QUALIFICATION SYSTEM EWE European Welding Engineer (e.g.) Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module = Tailored EWF Training

20 EWF QUALIFICATION SYSTEM Training performed as a Lego Construction EWI EAE

21 CONCLUSIONS In any sector and especially in manufacturing, international qualifications are a very efficient way of innovating the required training and respective qualifications. With the input from the network of countries we have in EWF, we are able to pinpoint the actual skills needed in metal additive manufacturing and develop an international qualification based in the EWF quality assurance system Workers in the 30 member countries of EWF will have access to harmonised qualifications in metal additive manufacturing endorsed by stakeholders

22 CONCLUSIONS This international qualification, with procedures for recognition of existing formal or informal skills and based on a modular structure, will encourage the acquisition of new skills in manufacturing. Excellence in manufacturing requires training and qualification which needs to follow new approaches to prepare industry for the next-generation innovation and to support its growth.
