The 10 Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production skills you can score
These are the default Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production skills in SkillScorer. Each one is scored from 1 to 10 for every operator, and you can edit, remove or add skills at any time.
Metal Powder Handling and Safety
Handles reactive and fine metal powders safely, with correct extraction, grounding and protective equipment.
Machine Operation, Inert Gas and Chamber Control
Operates metal machines, manages inert gas and chamber conditions and follows start-up and shutdown procedures.
Build Plate Preparation and Part Removal
Prepares build plates and removes parts and supports without damaging them.
Heat Treatment, HIP and Stress Relief
Understands stress relief, heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing and their effect on properties.
Inspection, CT Scanning and Material Testing
Inspects parts using dimensional checks, CT scanning and mechanical tests to confirm quality.
Process Parameters and Repeatability
Maintains process parameters so builds are repeatable from one machine and batch to the next.
Aerospace, Medical and Automotive Quality Standards
Understands the quality requirements of regulated industries and produces compliant documentation.
Traceability, Batch Records and Certification
Tracks powder lots, builds and post-processing to provide complete traceability and certificates.
Machine Maintenance and Filter Management
Maintains optics, filters and recoaters so machines perform consistently and safely.
Safety, Fire Risk and Hazard Controls
Controls fire, explosion and inhalation risks in a metal powder environment.
Levels included with Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production

How Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production works in SkillScorer
Score
Each operator in a team is scored on the Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank operators, compare two side by side, or compare your teams against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production skills need attention. Reports also follow each team lead's team.
Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production scorecard covers 10 skills: Metal Powder Handling and Safety, Machine Operation, Inert Gas and Chamber Control, Build Plate Preparation and Part Removal, Heat Treatment, HIP and Stress Relief, Inspection, CT Scanning and Material Testing, Process Parameters and Repeatability, Aerospace, Medical and Automotive Quality Standards, Traceability, Batch Records and Certification, Machine Maintenance and Filter Management and Safety, Fire Risk and Hazard Controls. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are operators scored in Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production?
Every operator is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one team and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production?
Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production starts with these levels (called “Grade” in the app): Technician, Senior Technician, Process Engineer, Lead Engineer and Manufacturing Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Metal Additive Manufacturing & Industrial Production skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In 3d printing & additive manufacturing the app talks about operators, teams and team leads, and you can change any of those words too.
