What you'll learn
In this course, you’ll dive into the exciting world of additive manufacturing—learning how to design, slice, and fabricate real 3D-printed products from scratch. You’ll explore different 3D printing technologies, materials, and workflows, master CAD modeling for print-ready designs, and understand how to troubleshoot, optimise, and enhance print quality. By the end, you’ll be able to transform ideas into functional prototypes, customised components, and industry-ready models, gaining the creativity and technical confidence to innovate across engineering, healthcare, automotive, consumer products, and beyond.
Qualifications Required
Can a commerce or arts student also learn 3D printing?
Yes, students from a commerce or arts background can enter the 3d printing industry and learn about 3d printing. TCoE will help you learn and understand the basic fundamentals using its unique hands-on training approach, thus helping any student with any kind of background to learn solar photovoltaics.
There is no minimum qualification, but its easier if you have done 10+2 level science. Still, any student from any background can learn 3d printing.
Time Required to Learn
Typically our courses are 36 hours (introductory / crash course) to 600 hours (long term).
A student can spend 2 hours / day (in 3 weeks) to 6 hours / day (in 1 week) to complete a 36 hours course.
A school/ college going student can typically spend 4 hours per week (in 9 weeks) to 6 hours per week (6 weeks), to complete the 36 hours course.
For a 600 hours course, a student may need to give more time per week – typically 20 hours per week (total 30 weeks = 7 months) to 30 hours per week (total 20 weeks = 5 months) to complete the course.
