Description
With this free online course, you get a 360-degree introduction to 3D printing where you learn about the technical, design and economic benefits of the technology – and much more. The course provides an overview of widespread technologies and materials and also looks at sustainability.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) - or 3D printing - is increasingly used as a production resource and thus no longer only for prototypes. Several independent analyses point to 3D printing as one of the manufacturing technologies that Danish industry can use to improve competitiveness and maintain Danish production jobs.
In this course, you get a 360-degree introduction to 3D printing as a manufacturing method, so you’ll get a better understanding of the technology. Thus, you are better equipped to assess when and how 3D printing could make sense to you. With the Danish Technological Institute as a course provider, you are also sure to get an independent and objective review of the technology.

Bcz thy aren’t show what’s the procedure of 3d Printing, how can i start 3D printing but it’s a good for knowledge
It was indeed a general and broad overview of 3D printing technology. It was pretty technical, but yet an eye-opener to the various additive manufacturing processes out there.
Great information
it was good
It has me re content so need more practical explanation
It is an amazing course about3-d printing in which you learn about the history, economy etc...
