Reasons to complete the course.
Hands-on interactive tutorials (Windows Only)
The course content is linked to guided online tutorials utilising Gen3D’s design software. Using Gen3D’s software, we guide you through the AM design process in easy steps, which is an ideal hands-on method of practising what you’re learning.
Accessible for students and professionals
Whether you are new to additive manufacturing or looking to boost your existing design for additive manufacturing knowledge, this course is targeted at all individuals with a technical background and a basic knowledge of design and manufacturing.
Experienced Team
The team at Gen3D are academic and industrial experts with years of research in additive manufacturing (3D Printing). We distil this broad range of knowledge into a focused online course covering what, over the years, we have found to be most important to us in the field of design for additive manufacturing. This means that this is truly a great design for additive training course.
Dr Steven Goguelin - Course Instructor
Steve has a masters in mechanical engineering, specialising in design. His PhD in design for additive manufacturing focused on the role of computers in the AM workflow. He now helps users fully exploit AM with his design and applications role at Gen3D.
