VR integrated RP and Youth

Virtual Reality (VR) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) technologies are important components of Industry 4.0 in the education and training of youth. With the digital modules to be developed, it is expected that youth will master the aforementioned technologies in closing their skills/competency gap.

Industry 4.0 has led to significant changes in the production paradigm, and the tendency to localization of production has gained strength. The integration of two important Industry 4.0 and digital transformation applications such as VR and RP for design and production is one of the important outputs of the decentralization and localization of production trend. Increasing the skills and abilities of young people in these subjects will be effective in reducing youth unemployment rates.

Scope of the project, the issues addressed are the very similar needs and interests of young people in common local communities in Europe. Discussions about the future of design and production in the context of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 and the expectations of the relevant sectors are based on determining the needs of the target groups. The fact that the countries where the project will be implemented are the countries with the highest youth unemployment in Europe is the reference point for the idea of implementing the project in these countries. The previous experience of the partners on the project subject and their competence in reaching the target groups were effective in their selection as a project partner.
