Introduction to 3D Printing
This course is designed to guide participants from novice levels to proficient users with a Fused Filament Fabrication 3D Printer.
Overview
This course is only available to those currently in employment and partially funded under the Skills to Advance initiative.
Skills to Advance is a national initiative that provides upskilling and reskilling opportunities to employees in jobs undergoing change and to those currently employed in vulnerable sectors. Skills to Advance aims to equip employees with the skills they need to progress in their current role or to adapt to the changing job market.
