3D Printing Introduction to Intermediate 4 Day Course

This London Software Training 3D Printing course will teach you how to 3D model and 3D print your own designs within a supportive group environment.

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created.

In this course you'll learn the ins and outs of this exciting technology. Our training will give you the skills to model and print your own 3D designs and operate our five printers.

You will be taught how to design models for architecture, jewellery, products, engineering or any other creative pursuit using 3D software.

By the end of the course, you will be confident in using a 3D printer to create your own models.
