Course Overview

This revolutionary 3D Printing course in South Wales provides delegates with an opportunity to design, optimise and then manufacture physical components using the 3D Printing process. You will work first with design projects before moving on to generating a number of 3D components. You will first learn how to design for 3D Printing before learning how to fabricate these designs using the 3D Printer. Additive manufacturing is a new group of techniques used to fabricate a physical component or assembly using three-dimensional Computer Aided Design data. Construction of components will be carried out using our state-of the art 3D printers.

If you have you recently bought a 3D printer and can't get it working the way that you want to? Having problems with the model curling or not sticking to the build platform? Then this is the perfect course for you.

This 3D Printing course based in South Wales provides delegates with the latest methods of design, validation and fabrication which you will learn on the day. 3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. 3D printing is achieved using additive processes, where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material. This course provides delegates with an opportunity to conceive, design and implement a product, using the combination of Computer Aided Design and 3D Printing methods.

You will learn how to set up and control the 3D printing process to make a product. If you have a specific idea that you would like to develop during the day then we can focus on this as well. This one to one course ensures you receive focused demonstrations, individual attention and sufficient hands on time using a 3D Printer.
